I was very excited to buy some herb plants to grow in my kitchen windowsill, so I would always have them around. The recipes in our program use a lot of fresh herbs so this saves me the hassle of always running to the store to buy them, and then having them go bad if I don't use them fast enough. Unfortunately I just noticed the leaves on the basil and mint plants - I am assuming an insect has been eating them?? Does this mean I have to throw the plants away, or can I still use the leaves that don't have holes all over them?? I am so annoyed!
It looks like the insects didn't like the coriander plant, but I am having trouble keeping it alive. Any tips??
You can absolutely use the leaves - even if they have been nibbled - just wash and dry them.
ReplyDeleteCoriander doesn't last long - but try standing your herbs in water to have a drink - so don't water them from top. You should find that they take what they need and you wont over do it. Good luck! I'm going to look up the GI thing - sounds good. Keep writing you are not alone. I prefer this to FB. claire XX
Ok good to know, thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love fresh herbs, I planted some outside, but they aren't growing very fast.
