6 Best Herbs to Start Inside

We “Spring Forward” with daylight savings time Sunday, March 9th. The time to start herbs is now.

Starting herbs from seed is probably the most frugal & fun way to begin gardening. It is also a great way to try out many herbs that would be too costly to buy as plants. For the same price as one herb seedling, you can often purchase multiple seed packets.

Basil: Sweet basil is a bushy annual, 1 to 2 feet high, with glossy opposite leaves and spikes of white flowers.

Basil leaves are used in cooking, imparting their anise (licorice) flavor to dishes. Many cultivars are available with different nuances of taste, size, and appearance, including cultivars with cinnamon, clove, lemon, and lime overtones, as well as purple-leaved types such as ‘Dark Opal’ and ‘Rubin’. One of the most popular herbs in the garden, basil adds fine flavor to tomato dishes, salads, and pesto.

Chives: Chives are bulb plants, although the bulbs are so tiny that you might not realize they’re there. These plants produce beautiful, globelike pink and lavender blossoms. A perennial, chives grow to about 18 inches high and thrive in Zones 3 to 9. Chives have been added to foods for nearly 5,000 years. Native to Asia, they were probably first used by the Chinese. Colonists brought chives with them to America.

Oregano: Oregano is one of the few herbs that tastes better dried than fresh. “Drying deepens the flavor

and mellows it, so it’s not as bitter,” says Mark Carter, proprietor of the Carter House Inn and Restaurant 301 in Eureka, California. Cut oregano in the morning, after the dew has dried. Hang it in small bunches upside down, or lay it on screens in a warm, dry place. Once the oregano has dried (the leaves will be crisp), remove the leaves from the stems and store them, whole, in a glass container. To preserve the essential oils, wait until just before using them to chop or crush them.

Sage: Culinary sage refers to a small group of the genus Salvia. These are evergreen perennial subshrubs

with woolly grayish leaves that add an musky, earthy freshness to foods. Spikes of purple/blue flowers appear in mid-summer. Sage plants bloom in mid-summer. They may bloom their first year, depending on size and site, but you are really growing the plants for the leaves. Allow the plants to grow unharvested for the first year, to become established. After that you can harvest leaves at anytime, although they are consider at their best before or just after blooming.

Thyme: Versatile and beautiful, thymes should have a place in every herb garden. All thymes are perennial

herbs with very small leaves and tiny flowers ranging in color from white through pink to deep rose-magenta.

The creeping types, such as mother-of-thyme (Thymus serpyllum), will cover bricks and stones or low walls and can tolerate a certain amount of foot traffic. T. ‘Coccineus’ is a mat-forming cultivar with showy reddish purple flowers and bronze fall foliage. The bush forms are 6 to 8 inches high and have woody, wiry stems and branches.

Parsley: High in nutritional and medicinal value, parsley is so much more than a mere garnish. Parsley really

has a lot more to offer than just being the token garnish on a plate of steak or fish. This herb is an excellent addition to most recipes, is rich in vitamins and minerals (A, C, calcium, and iron), and fights bad breath.

Parsley is a biennial grown as an annual; it will grow in Zones 5 through 9. You can choose from two parsley varieties: curly leaf and flat leaf.

| KANSAS CITY ATTRACTIONS| Powell Gardens

Set on 915 acres of lush, rolling hills and windswept meadows, Powell Gardens -- Kansas City’s botanical garden -- offers breathtaking display gardens, interesting architecture, a nature trail and a year-round calendar of special events and classes for the entire family.

Garden features include an Island Garden, Perennial Garden, a Rock and Waterfall Garden, a Wildflower Meadow, an indoor conservatory, ever-changing Terrace Gardens and native plantings.

Besides being a gardening enthusiast’s dream, Powell Gardens offers unique contemporary architecture. The Marjorie Powell Allen Chapel, designed by architect Fay Jones, offers a quiet place for reflection and inspiration.

Jones, a native of Arkansas and student of the master Frank Lloyd Wright, is famous for his Thorncrown Chapel in Eureka Springs.

In addition to the Chapel, he designed the Visitor Education Center and the Meadow Pavilion.

All structures blend with the serene and natural surroundings of the Gardens. The 18,000-square-foot Visitor Education Center houses Perennial Gifts gift shop, a café and classroom space, plus a glass-topped conservatory.

“I’ve been advertising in KC Homes/KCHome Lifestyle magazine for many years.

During the last few tough years, it continued to be a great value when marketing my listings. I’ve received many leads over the years from the magazine and its associated online presence... It gives me an edge when interviewing with Sellers. I’m excited about the recent changes they’ve made in the magazine, and I believe their new look will bring new appeal to the magazine, and carry them into the future as still a great value and a great means of advertising for agents that want to reach more potential buyers.” Julie Deppen Keller Williams Realty Partners, Inc.

“Recently, Gwen Kemper was selected to market a property because this particular lady knew we advertised in the KCHOME and Lifestyle. In fact, she pulled out a recent issue to comment on our advertising and said she liked the fact that we did not just advertise on the Internet. Her home featured on the front cover and sold within a short time.”

Micki Trotter/Gwen Kemper of Woodward Real Estate “18 years ago I started my career in real estate. KCHOME and Lifestyle evolved and our listings are distributed by the magazine to hundreds of websites world wide and we get a lot of leads from these websites. To this day, people instinctively pick up the KCHOME and Lifestyle magazine at the grocery store, and we still receive calls daily from those house hunters.”

“KCHOME and Lifestyle has been a great partner through the years.

Always helpful.”
