I Grow Herbs
when i was twenty three with two young children,my mother in law asked me if i would like to grow some herbs.she knew of a lady who had baby herbs of all kinds.we drove up to her home ,and she did have all kinds of things . i wasn't a good cook back then.that is one of the best things about growing herbs .i know i became a better cook.that first year i had only a few things but i branched out with a long list of sedative herbs,valerian, lavender ,passionflower and all the others.my children could name many many herbs even at two years old ,we were all like sponges gathering up all the information we could about our little friends.we would get so excited to see that our rosemary made it through our winter.i built gardens with the girls .since then the girls have grown up and i miss them,but i know some of the things we learned together have stuck with them.my daughter had her second garden this year.i am very proud of her and her gardening skills.both children are great cooks ,and adventurous eaters today .herbs helped me through some difficult times.in the winter i studied them and in the spring and summer i tended them.i will always be grateful for my mother in law starting me down this garden path.
