10 reasons to grow herbs.

You really should try growing herbs if you don't already. I've written what I think is a compelling list of 10 reasons why growing herbs is good.It's called 10 Reasons to grow herbs! not surprisingly!

 I wrote this for a special challenge on the Squidoo site. It's won one of Squidoo's top awards, the The Squidoo Purple Star Award - read all about it!

My herb garden is coming on well this spring. Last night we had lovely fresh haddock for supper, and I picked sorrel, fennel and chives, and snipped the herbs over the fish as it was slowly baking in the over ( with a little olive oil and white wine)With fresh herbs it's so easy to make food that little bit more special.

 My favourite book about cooking with herbs is a collaboration between the Queen of herbs, Jekka McVicar, and the Good Old Jamie Oliver, everyone's mate and all round good bloke. UK readers can buy this great book here.
