Herblore

Roasted vegetables with rosemary

I was taught by my mother at a very early age how to use herbs to enhance the flavour of meals. Wouldn’t food be bland without them? Any serious garden should have a few. We all have our favourites. Mine are rosemary and sage. They are used in herbal remedies and always have been. Why would you not want a herb garden? To be able to step outside your back door and grab a handful of mint for your potatoes is magic. When you plant them in the garden they attract beneficial insects and help repel the nasties, so they play a big part in companion planting. In the picture I have roasted different types of beetroot, garlic, onions, carrots and sweet potatoes. Drizzled some good oil over and sprinkled fresh rosemary, that grows in a chimney pot outside my tiny office. I will be creating a new area for herbs in my garden hopefully this year. If you haven’t already why not give herbs a grow this season?. I even have a starter collection which is organic and super value for money. Please take a look here. Thanks Simon.
