The herb Hut will once again be full of fragrant and delicious herbs ready for planting in your garden.  If you have a "kitchen garden" in your yard with fresh vegetables available to you, add some companion plants as herbs and vegetable plants for the most part, like similar growing conditions.  A kitchen garden should not only delight our senses with color but with aroma and great flavors which herbs add to our cooking.  Who doesn't like new potatoes swimming in melted butter with freshly chopped parsley sprinkled on top?  Here are but a few of the herbs to be found in the Herb Hut:

Basil - 5 types - Genovese, Sweet, Lemon, Purple and Opal

Cilantro - Nice in Oriental, Mexican and Mediterranean dishes

Curled Chervil - Great with fish or for herb butter

Dill - Salads, dips, vegetable and egg dishes

Parsley - Italian and Curled

Rosemary - Good with pork, veal, chicken and vinegar concoctions

Sage - Stuffing, cheese dishes, marinades, soups and sausages

Thyme - Teas and cool drinks 

AND - for something different in your garden, try some Borage, Fennel, Valerian, Clary Sage, Golden Marguerite, Hope Red Amaranth, German Chamomile and Empress of India Nasturtiums (hummingbirds love them!).  Many other herbs will be available as well.  To add color to your kitchen garden, Marigolds, Morning Glories, Moonflower (giant white) and Castor Beans (said to discourage moles).
