Every spring I do a serious clean out
of the side garden of every inch of mint that I can find and then I
lay the fresh compost and sprinkle seeds of whatever I'm in the mood
for that year. I always wonder if it will grow back...tee hee! This
past year it was parsley that I wanted. I had planted the Basil-Mint
as well.
Wow, only a few weeks later you'll find
the whole section beaming with new growth. Right now I am able to
cut an entire bowl full of herbs each week and it hardly makes a
dent....wonderful. Mint, basil-mint, parsley, rosemary, thyme...all
get cleaned and sterilized before use and my goodness what a
difference those herbs make to salads, tuna sandwiches and meals in
general and the flavour lingers long after. Whether from slips or
seeds, herbs are so easy to grow and if you don't have much space you
can grow them in pots, bottles and tins, there is no need to go
without.
Our relationship with the world should
be a bit like being a herb. We should easily grow and when others
have been in our presence the effect of that connection should linger
long after. Admittedly there are times when this is hard to do
due to issues we are working through in our lives, but by enlarge we
should make a positive impact on the world around us.
