harvesting herbs

You should benefit from your garden as much as possible because you invested so much time and money into making it successful. One unexpected way your herb garden can be put to use in your home is through your decor. A handcrafted wreath made from the herbs in your garden — or from a neighborhood market if you do not grow your own — can be woven into a beautiful wreath that greets guests at your front door. You can also hang it in your kitchen and use the herbs in your favorite recipes once they dry. 

If you love to cook, chances are you’ve at least attempted to grow herbs in your garden before. These aromatic plants add a lot of flavor to dishes, bring herbal fragrance to the home, and may even have some medicinal properties. The other great thing about them is that they aren’t really all that difficult to grow. To get the best results, however, there are some special tricks to take advantage of, ensuring you get the most out of your herb garden.
