How to Break Up With Your Child’s Pediatrician

Your Jr. Chef can grow kitchen herbs
 
Basil, oregano, mint, sage, chives, rosemary, tarragon. Mint and oregano take over like weeds if planted in the ground. Basil, to be always available, needs to be planted staggered at 2-week intervals since each plant has a finite life. Best in cooler months for hot summer climates: parsley, dill. Either from seed or plants already started, use 16 oz (minimum size) yogurt/cottage cheese containers (punch holes in bottom for drainage) or 6″ pots (clay or plastic). Soil from bag (potting mix, flower/vegetable soil – balanced nutrients) better than dirt from garden. Keep evenly moist in direct sun. It’s pretty fun to have fresh herbs available – just go outside, snip and use here and now. Which fresh herbs are your favorites?
