I grow a slew of medicinal herbs, but the ones I rely on in my kitchen (and teacup) are rosemary, bay, sage, thyme and oregano… bergamot, fennel, chamomile and anise hyssop.
Great interview today and I’m going to go checkout R. M. N. McGee’s shop now!

I’ve had Rosemary’s container book for more than 20 years! My favorite herbs to grow and use: basil (esp Thai) and parsley.

I use thyme more than any other herb, all year round, because it enhances so many dishes. I grow it in pots, and find that if I cover it in cold weather with a layer of pine needles it can take a lot of cold (I’m in 7a). And I cut off sprigs and dry them hanging in the kitchen, then keep them in a ziplock bag. Dried this way they seem to keep a lot of their aroma and flavor. I also use a lot of sage, rosemary, and oregano.
