Herb Description and Taste

Lemongrass is used fresh or dried to add lemony zing to Thai dishes and hot tea.

 It likes it hot, so grow it in an area with full sun and fertile, well-drained soil

Herb Description and Taste

Purple basil offers a slightly spicy flavor, sweet and spicy – like notes reminiscent of cinnamon and licorice. It got its name from its deeply colored leaves. The curled purple large toothed leaves can grow 3 inches in length and have a ruffled appearance.

Plant in a sunny area and keep soil moist.  Pruning off the tallest flowers as soon as possible will encourage foliage growth and keep the plant going strong. The leaves should be picked when the plant reaches 6 to 8 inches tall. When harvest early in the morning, the leaves are juicer because it’s when the concentration of aromatic oils are at their highest.

Herb Description and Taste

Both the flowers and leaves can be eaten and have a pleasant yet slightly bitter flavor. Lavender is most often used as a condiment, added to dishes to enhance the flavor, just like a spice.

The plant is not picky and will survive in a wide range of soil, even poor soil. Its main requirements are lots of sun and also good drainage.

• Water once or twice a week after planting until plants are established. Water mature plants every two to three weeks until buds form, then once or twice weekly until harvest.
