Today’s homemaker grows herbs in a geometric-patterned garden as modern as her modern kitchen. Like her old-world ancestors she knows the joy of herb-flavored foods and in planting herbs achieves a landscape effect as interesting as her great-grandmother’s knot garden. She segregates rampant varieties in individual plant wells for minimal maintenance; she selects a sunny location for her herbs, provides them a well-prepared slightly alkaline soil and feeds them once a season with a complete plant food.
In addition to knowing herbs for culinary uses, she makes interesting summer arrangements of them and when fall comes she pats a few of her favorites in 4-inch pots to grace her sunny kitchen window and provide a fresh, flavorful fillup to winter salads. Rosemary, summer savory, chives. marjoram and mint she cannot be without.
