Three Herbs that Smell So Good to Me
I love the smell of herbs, crushed between my fingers or as I'm watering my garden, hit with water that releases their smell. I also love the smell of basil, but mostly the taste of it. And every other herb.
Cilantro forming seed berries.
And a bonus guest appearance by sweet smelling lavender. And that is thyme in the picture above but I can't get blogger to let me add that text. grrrr.
