Using Herbs
In cooking with fresh herbs, remember that the flavors are less concentrated yet more complex than dried.  Add them in the last 5 to 10 minutes of cooking so you don't cook away their volatile oils and flavors.  Dried herbs are generally twice as strong as fresh ones so measure accordingly in converting from one form to another.  Try an unfamiliar herb on your taste buds by snipping a small amount into a bit of butter or cottage cheese.  Let the mixture sit for about an hour to blend, then try it on a plain cracker.

"If you don't see a plant variety that you're looking for, please call or e-mail your request.  We have sources for unusual plants that we have had great success with over the years - we're always looking for the new and unusual for our gardens, too."
