Herb Parade

I figured if the Dervaes family can grow their urban homestead on a 1/5 acre city lot, then I could probably fit a few more herbs on my patio. As if I needed a reason to have more plants.  It’s getting a little bit crowded out there.

Garlic chives

Chocolate mint.  I need to find a good recipe to use this.

Spearmint (Southern iced tea necessity)

Basil

I love the baby basil leaves with their spring green color this time of year.

Somehow this red salvia came home with me as well.

Lavender

Italian Parsley.  I use this one a lot.

I can’t wait to use these herbs to cook some frittatas. I especially love the recipe for Kuku-ye Sabsi. I’ve made it several times using whatever fresh herbs I had, and it’s unexpectedly delicious.
