Going Green

I spent one quiet afternoon shopping for herbs with my grandma. We discovered this little nursery off the highway that grows more herbs than flowers. Oregano, thyme, sweet basil, rosemary— you name them. I was delighted to see these greens blooming in those tiny pots. They were the fresh version of those dried McCormick ones that I use in the kitchen. Having my grandma around was helpful. The lady has green fingers and grows a fine garden at her home. Together, we picked the best chilli, rosemary, parsley, mint, tarragon and marigolds to live and grow in my balcony herb garden.
