HERBS 
Grandmother’s garden always had a little patch of herbs and, 
doubtless, much of the savoriness of grandmother’s cooking as 
well as the effectiveness of her home remedies was derived from 
her store of “yarbs.” Most of the commoner herbs are perennials, 
although they last but a few seasons in ordinary situations. Any 
odd corner will do, provided it is sunny and the soil not too hard 
or poor. Sow seed in early spring, thinning out as needed.
