word to herb
i just started my herb garden this weekend. 
.
i'm extremely excited for the bountiful (ok, as bountiful as can be given my 5' x 3' NYC terrace) fruits my herb garden will soon bear. nothing is better than fresh herbs to make any food taste better. i'm a card carrying memeber of the jamie oliver fanclub, and really enjoy studying his style of cooking--almost always advocating the use of fresh herbs.
i've had commitment issues in the past with respect to plants, but this is my breakout year to embrace the traditions of the great farmers that have speckled our nation's history. i am told that herbs are less tempermental than many plants, but now that i have begun reading more about them, just like anything else, seems like there is a good deal of complexities - soil pH, sunlight, water, containers, and more...alas, i'll learn the hard way what works and what doesn't.
