Herbs and Spices

Other herbs that grow at Leewoods include fennel, chive, garlic chives, basil and parsley.

Fennel again can be used for a nice cuppa or in a savoury recipe, this is something I combine with mint to make fresh tea.

Herbs such as chives, basil and parsley can be used as a base for most recipes so these are a good option to grow. If you are limited on time and space put a pot in the window and choose these select few.

As previously mentioned I have also invested in a dehydrator, drying out the leaves and then grinding them to save in jars to use as dried herbs is cheap, easy and saves waste!
