Agreed! Next year I plan to plant as many different herbs as possible. No more "Oh no, we need fresh cilantro for this recipe. We'd better drive to the grocery store for one item." I moved my rosebary bush inside, and it's flourishing. It's just getting so huge! I love herbs!

Hope that netting keeps Sir Paul and Ringo out of your herb patch next year!

Your typo just made me laugh when I read it -- I had this mental image of the Fab Four raiding someone's backyard clandestinely in the night, with herb sprigs hanging from their mouths like rabbits chewing a piece of clover!

Please don't be offended by my pointing this out, as I mean it in good fun, but I think you mean "Beetles."

I know what you mean, I use my fresh herbs daily. I can never get enough! :-) I brought my planter with lavender, rosemary, sage, and marjoram inside for the winter and have it in my sunny window (southern exposure), hope it makes it thru ok til spring. So nice to gently rub the lavender and rosemary between my palms and smell it for a quick aromatherapy boost.

My daughter froze up some cilantro and it works just fine. she chops it off and uses like fresh. works just great.

Thanks for pointing out the beatles. I type quite fast and almost never proof what I have typed unless it has to do with money or business. I figure if I am among friends we will enjoy the laugh which I did.

Dangold, thanks for the info on freezing the cilantro! I love the stuff, but it doesn't last long in the vege drawer or the garden!
I love to grow things, but not everything lasts in the garden! Cilantro almost always bolts!

I am in love with herbs! I started growing basil in with my tomatoes and eggplants a few years ago. This year I grew some in a strawberry pot with mint and geraniums. I just brought it indoors 2 weeks ago and it's still growing like crazy. I like it in a pot close to the house so I see it all the time and keep the blooms pinched off. I've been growing the same plant now for 5 months. My neighbor even stops by to beg basil leave every now and again. Haven't had as good of luck with cilantro, but I haven't given up yet! Next spring, I'm going to start more from seed and try oregano and a few others.
