DON'T buy herbs anymore! grow you're own. Herbs rule. They add taste, variety, there healthy and taste( I've said taste twice, but really they do). Put them in everything. If you have a favourite food or recipe, add a herb you haven't used before.
Growing them is so easy. I didn't realise until 2 weeks ago when i potted my own. My girlfriend and I went to bunnings to get some plants for our place and we stumbled past the herb section.
Ok perhaps i got carried away but i bought 2 large rectangular plastic pots, some potting mix and now 2 weeks later i am the proud owner of rosemary, chives, dill, basil, thyme, sage and parsley. All up it costed $50!!
I've watered them everyday and now there so big i literally don't know what to do with all of them and honestly all it took was 2 weeks.
As i said at the start , throw herbs in everything.

Some examples i use are:
- Chives- Scrambled eggs, salads, sea foods, mayonnaise.
- Dill- Seafood, lamb, salads, chicken, canned tuna.
- Basil- tomatoes, stir-fry's, salads, soups.
- Thyme, rosemary- Slow cooked meats, stews, soups.
So experiment and see what you come up with. Another bonus is that it's one less thing to think about when you're out doing shopping next.
