HERBS

Basil - Eleonora

Slightly cupped to flat, 3" leaves with a somewhat spicier flavor than traditional pesto types.

Chives (Purly)

We like this variety because it has a nice upright habit with straighter medium-sized leaves.

Cilantro

Has glossy parsley-like foliage that at times makes it hard to tell the difference between parsley and cilantro at the produce market. All you need to do is smell the light pungent aroma, and you’ll know the difference. Cilantro leaves are used in Mexican, Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine.

Cutting Celery

This leafy herb with bold celery flavor - use fresh in salads or cooked in soups, stews and with mixed vegetables. Gail found this in the Montego Bay farmers market and has been hooked ever since.
