We're growing basil and parsley too - enjoy the fruits of your labours :) @Small Footprints: Hey :) You’re so right; they ARE beautiful plants in their own right and yes, they are wonderful in green salads.

The three you chose are great ... and can be used in so many dishes. Mint is fabulous in spring rolls or sprinkled over curry. Chives and thyme ... well, what can't be enhanced by their flavors? I also like to add fresh herbs to green salads ... it's like a flavor explosion! This year I'm growing sweet basil, both flat leaf and curly parsley, and cilantro. I have them in long planter boxes which hang on my patio railing. The color and shape of the leaves add so much to the beauty of my patio ... and I love being able to go out and clip what I need for a meal. In my area, fresh herbs are rather expensive for a very small bundle ... so I feel like I have a gold mine. :) Enjoy your garden!
