The Herbs in My Garden - an introduction

Today I'll begin posting a series of articles on the herbs I am most familiar with... the ones I have grown for years in my own garden and used in my own kitchen and family life. I will include information on the culinary and medicinal uses of these familiar plants along with a little history and some personal anecdotes. The information comes from my own experience, books, television shows, friends and web sources. I also plan to include recipes or special uses for the featured herb. These recipes are usually my own and since I am the type of cook who only measures when baking, they will be pretty general, but also very easy to make. My garden is quite small so the list won't be long but I hope you'll find these articles informative and useful. I am beginning with one of my favorites - Dill. Dill is a lovely herb - both aesthetically and aromatically. I hope that if you haven't tried to grow or use herbs that you will consider it after reading this series. If you need any additional information or have any comments please feel free to post. ~Holly
