Herb garden update

The herbs are thriving outside- all except the basil growing alongside the tomatoes. It's so windy up on our deck that the poor guys look war-torn. Here are the herbs, holding their ground:

Cilantro: this screams out salsa. Must do that this weekend.



What exactly does one do with oregano?



Even the tomato plants have trouble with the wind:



Basil nursery in toilet paper rolls...



The only thriving basil left; could be because it's been protected by the big sunflowers.

    Ohh, fresh oregano is great in so many things! I love it in soups (I used a heaping 3 tablespoons, chopped, in that black bean soup I made the other night), it's great as a departure from basil in tomato sauce for pasta or pizza (or just on the pizza), and tasty in herb butter. Think Italian, Greek, Mexican.
