Fresh herbs. Less sodium. More flavor. Right from your garden or patio.
Rosemary: One Plant Can Last All Year
Buy a healthy rosemary plant early in the year. With proper care, rosemary can supply fresh sprigs year-round in many climates and can live for years.
- Place in a sunny spot with at least six hours of sunlight.
- Use well-drained soil and a pot with drainage holes if growing in a container.
- Let the upper soil dry between waterings.
- Snip small sprigs for fish, chicken and roasted vegetables.
Basil: Grow Fresh Leaves for Your Sauce
Buy a basil plant for the growing season and harvest leaves for homemade tomato sauce, pasta and fresh meals.
- Give basil plenty of sun and consistent moisture without waterlogging.
- Pinch growing tips for bushier growth.
- Protect from frost; sweet basil is generally an annual in freezing climates.
No Backyard? No Problem!
A sunny patio, balcony or bright growing space can hold two pots: one rosemary and one basil. Fresh herbs bring flavor without added salt.
