This was the longest winter in history or maybe as we get older it just seems that way. Anyway last week the herbs went into their appropriate pots. I have to say this is a big deal here in the Chicago Burbs. For 8 months when we want herbs we have to get those expensive little plastic packages of herbs. Ok I am glad we have them but it is not the same as fresh from the garden. The whole experience is missed. I love it when I'm cooking and I tell the kids to go get me some cilantro from the garden. There usual response is "which one is cilantro?" I kind of describe it and let them have at it. I may even give them a smell profile to go by. Such as for Rosemary "the one that smells like pine trees"! 9/10 times they get it right and it teaches them to know their herbs. Very important in life!
