When I saw tiny pots of herbs at Marketplace @ i12 Mall last week, I thought to myself, "These will make great Christmas presents (for me)!"
Well, Christmas has come and gone and I found myself missing these plants. I couldn't stop thinking about them especially now that I'm reading "Under the Tuscan Sun" where oregano grows profusely like a weed.
So, I went back there yesterday and was pleased to find they've replenished their stock. I bought four pots and promptly replanted them in bigger pots. Let me introduce my new herbs:
1. French Tarragon - the slightly anise tasting leaves pair well with egg, chicken and fish dishes.

2. Majoram - the sweet and mild leaves are great for flavouring meat dishes.
3. Sweet basil - highly aromatic and great for salads and sandwiches.
4. Sage - used as a medicinal herb (for treating everything from snake bite to longetivity) long before it has been a culinary herb.
Even though they like full sun, I'm keeping them under partial shade to help them acclimatise to the heat and humidity.
Happy New Year, Ting!
ReplyDeleteDo you use these herbs in your cooking?

ReplyDeleteHi! :)
ReplyDeleteCan I use your photos for a school project about possible herbs to be grown at home?
