Growing French Kitchen Herbs

It’s common to find pots of live herbs lining the windows of a bright, airy French kitchen. While they definitely enhance the rustic design of a chateau-style room, they have practical use as well. High quality ingredients are the keystones to fine French cuisine. Fresh herbs bought at the market are wonderful, but imagine glancing down at a recipe, and then walking over to your countertop to snip a few sprigs of fragrant, organic seasoning. From plant to pan, what could be more delicious than that? Bon appetit!
