Herbs

Do you want to keep your cats from eating potentially harmful houseplants, or coarse, outdoor grass that sticks to the back of their tongues and might contain pesticides? Because it’s grown indoors, fibrous cat grass can be served fresh, year-round to assist your cat with digestion, and may help prevent furballs. Grass is ready for cats to eat when it is 2″-4″ high; place near their water or food bowl for only a few minutes so that they don’t binge. Feed for a few minutes at a time on a regular basis to get your kitty’s tummy used to it, allowing absorption of all the nutrients. Great for dogs, too!

What could be more soothing than curling up at bedtime with a good book and a cup of chamomile tea made from flowers fresh from your garden? The flowers can also be dried for floral arrangements, pressed for crafts, or woven into charming wreaths, and their edible petals can be tossed into salads. In the garden, chamomile attracts beneficial insects and pollinators.

Also called French parsley or gourmet’s parsley, chervil is an essential herb of French cooking, often added to fines herbes. Though the leaves resemble parsley, they have a distinct yet delicate anise flavor. Attracts beneficial insects. The fresh leaves are perfect mixed with salads, sprinkled on fish or meat, and even added to tomato juice. Thrives in cool temperatures; heat causes bolting.
