Salads, vegetables and meat

• "Many people grow mint and
parsley in the garden," says
Ontario:Ministry of Agriculture,
and Food horticulturist R. A.
Fleming, "but few realize that
parsley, rosemary, sweet basil,
sweet marjoram, sage, thyme
and other herbs can be grown
with ease indoors to add flavpr,
and garnish to winter meals."
Given a rich potting soil and a
warm temperature, most herb
seeds are easy to start. For
example, basil takes only 12
clays to germinate. After herb
seedlings are established,
transplant them to individual
two- to three-inch pots`
However, .because chervil, ' a
member of the parsley family,
does not stand transplanting1,. t
should be seeded in the �pdt
where it is to grow.
-Grow the transplanted, herb
seedlings in a cool, bright
room. Water them by placing
their pots on saucers in which
pebbles have been scattered
and keeping the pebbles moist
at all times.
There are many uses for
herbs grown indoors.
