Herb and Spice Seeds

Fresh herbs will make your garden smell good and will add lively flavors to your favorite dishes. Some can also be dried and used as wreaths or burned to create fragrant smoke. Some of these plants are used as spices, meaning that the seeds, not the leaves, are used for flavoring. ! Most of the popular garden herbs can be grown from seeds, but you can also order seedlings of many of them. You might notice that many of these herbs have medicinal or antiseptic properties. Some of them have been used medicinally for thousands of years, but you should still consult a professional herbalist before using herbs medicinally. (Although a few peppermint tea probably won't hurt you.) The antiseptic properties of many herbs and spices also help explain why they are so much more prominent in the cuisines of countries with warm to hot climates; they help prevent food spoilage! (We still recommend using your refrigerator.)
