I grow fresh herbs on the deck right off my kitchen. I buy most of my produce especially in season; I hope to be doing a bunch of canning this year including salsa.
I'll get all the stuff for that at the farmer's market.
I just harvested a buttload of basil from the deck, it's in the dehydrator now. It will season many meals to come. This year, I'm growing these basils: Lime, Lemon, Sweet, Purple, Purple Ruffles, and they are all growing like gangbusters in the last two weeks of 90+ degree humid weather, and a lot of water.
I'm also growing Chocolate Mint, and I left my Thyme plants in the pots through the winter, they came back nicely this summer, English Thyme and Lemon Thyme, great for seasoning meats.
Oh, and fresh rosemary for the buttered potatoes!
