No garden is complete without a few sweet, aromatic or medicinal herbs, for culinary or 

 medicinal purposes; and care should be taken to harvest them properly. This should be done on 

 a dry day, just before they come in full bloom, then dried quickly and packed closely, entirely 

 excluded from the air. Sow in spring, in shallow drills, one foot apart; and when well up, thin 

 out or transplant to a proper distance apart.
