Four very basic herbs when it comes to herb gardening. Four very basic herbs when it comes to Italian cooking.

You can pick these fresh herbs up at almost any grocery store, but you know what?

There is nothing like walking out into your yard and snipping a few bunches of fresh herbs for your recipes while you are cooking. The scent of each herb rises into the air as you snip them from the plant.

Your hands will be covered in the oils they release as you touch them and cut them. It is pure herbal heaven.

I love the scent of fresh rosemary and will run my hands over my plant every time I venture out into the yard so I can enjoy the scent.
