Growing your own backyard herb garden is cheaper and more convenient than purchasing herbs at the grocery store. Not to mention the sense of pride you can get from using ingredients you planted with your own two hands! Having an assortment of
fresh herbs only a skip away can bring new life to old recipes and add some
bright colors to your summer dishes. Here at Real Food Peoria, we’ve planted six
different herbs to add some pizzazz to our summer. Utilizing a basic planter and
a Flambeau Upside-Down Patio Garden we’re growing cilantro(or coriander), thyme, basil,
chives, mint, and parsley. We also have a cherry tomato plant in a Topsy-Turvy
and Winterbor kale in yet another planter.
