I'd like to share something revolutionary that I recently discovered.

This Pasadena family captured my heart in their enthusiasm in growing. For whatever my culinary reputation is worth, I put it on the line now.

You have to see this!

My favorite spot to grow herbs is my local Krogers. *Kidding* Basically, I am saying that I like to just buy them from a grocery. I do not have time for growing my own.

I grown my own herbs since I was a teenager...

I remembered the first herb I grew was the chive and this did make me jumped up and down for several days...

In my own opinion, you're not only can save lots of money by growing the herbs by yourself, but also can feels the joyful moment of gardening as well.

I have now decided to grow some herbs of my own for my cooking. I have recently budgeted my time better, and I think I can do it.

I've always had a small herb garden at home, which has always had mint and the curled variety of parsley in it. Recently I went on a shopping spree and bought a few small pots of basil, some Italian parsley, coriander, sage, oregano, rosemary and thyme. And just yesterday I noticed a raspberry plant growing in the middle of it I'm summing from seed. Very excited about that one :D

I really wish I could find a couple of basil plants for my kitchen window sill. Missouri is not EZ!
