From the monastery gardens to the whole world
We owe much of our knowledge of herbs to the monasteries of the Middle Ages. Behind their walls, monks and nuns tended carefully laid-out gardens where medicinal and culinary plants were cultivated and their effects recorded in manuscripts – Hildegard of Bingen is still a famous name today. Some herbs travelled to us from afar: basil came from India, rosemary and thyme from the Mediterranean, where they still fill the hillsides with their scent.
Kitchen, tea and home remedies
With your own herb seeds you have everything to hand: parsley, chives and basil for the kitchen, peppermint and lemon balm for tea, chamomile and sage as proven classics for the home remedy cabinet. Freshly harvested, every herb smells and tastes many times more intense than dried produce.
Sowing light- and dark-germinators correctly
A small trick decides success: light-germinators like basil, dill and chamomile are only pressed onto the soil, not covered. Dark-germinators like parsley and coriander, by contrast, need a thin layer of soil. A bright spot that isn't too cool lets most herbs germinate reliably.
Tip: make your own herb salt
Finely chop fresh herbs, mix with coarse sea salt (about three parts herbs to one part salt), let dry and fill into a jar – a fragrant gift from your own garden.
