THE  HERB  HUT

The small greenhouse at the farm that we have dedicated to herbs will once again be full of your favorite fragrant and delicious herbs that will be ready for planting.  Any sunny spot can become an herb garden or they can be planted in amongst your sunny perennial garden plants.  Flower pots and large patio pots are also ideal for herbs.  Herbs with their subtle colors, pungent and heady fragrances are an ideal addition to a vegetable garden.  The majority of herbs are easy to grow and fresh herbs incorporated into your cooking will provide for a flavorable and healthy seasoning.

In the Herb Hut, you will find your favorite herbs such as chives, oregano, dill, cilantro, rosemary, thyme, French tarragon (perennial), sage and basil to mention but a few.  We will also have nasturtiums, morning glories and a nice selection of hybrid, standard and heirloom tomato varieties, cuke, and squash plants.  Tomato plant offerings shall consist of about ten varieties... many of which will be heirloom varieties such as Block Krim, Brandywine Pink, Marglobe and Mortgage Lifter.

Did you know that cucumbers have been cultivated for over 3,000 years for fresh eating as well as pickling?

"Behold the flowers that deck the field,
the gentle breeze perfuming,
and tender herbs their fragrance yield,
are health and life defusing."
