You would never hear me say that I have a green thumb; in fact, I actually liken my gardening abilities to that of a black thumb. Regardless, I have it on good authority that herb gardens are relatively low maintenance and easy to grow and I just love the idea of fresh herbs for cooking.  You'd be amazed how much of a difference it makes.  

So over the weekend, I planted our own little herb garden.  The good news is that most places you'd buy herbs have easy to re-plant, already growing plants that you can transfer into a pretty pot and with a little sun, water, and love...voila! We picked mint, cilantro, basil, and rosemary...and I might have picked up a heirloom tomato plant.....maybe I was feeling a little ambitious.
