Kitchen Herb Garden
by AndiatBettyCrocker  9/25/2008 11:23:00 AM

 What cook doesn’t like to use fresh herbs in salad dressings, as a rub for meats or to flavor a cheese spread? I love being able to go out to my garden to pick fresh chives, tarragon, parsley and mint—these are the ones that I can count on because they are perennials in Minnesota. In the spring, I often plant additional culinary herbs such as: basil, rosemary, thyme, sage and dill.

 

With winter approaching (we could get a frost here as early as next week) I will soon have to buy fresh herbs at the supermarket. That’s why I’ve become intrigued with the ads for those new countertop gardens. They are very expensive ($130.00-$170.00) and probably take up a lot of counter space. The countertop garden that I've been looking at is AeroGarden.

 

Has anyone had any experience with one?

We have one and love it. The herbs grow extremely fast and are good. There are several vareities to choose from. It automatically waters and suns the herbs but does take up a bit of counter space. We actually put ours in a corner in the dining room and it has worked out very well.
