Cooking Games and Fresh Herbs


What better way to enhance your cooking games than by using fresh herbs right out of your own garden. If you’re not certain about growing your own plants or think you don’t have the space or the ability to do so, you’re wrong – growing your own plants is fun and easy. Once they get large enough, it’s even easier to include them in your food.

Start with some easy herbs that are fun to use like basil and parsley. These grow easily in containers or in a raised garden bed. Look for a starter kit in a nursery or home improvement store. Using the starter kit will give you the edge on growing if you’re not already familiar with how to plant the plants and care for them. Simply read the instructions, follow them and you’ll be in business.

Once the herbs are growing and thriving, you might branch out into other areas. Tomatoes and other small vegetables are common in backyard gardens and having your own produce is absolutely a fun way to teach kids or yourself about how to raise plants and care for them properly.
