Winter aromatic herbs


During winter many herbs are in dormancy or have completed their life cycle. Even those that remain green such as sage, mint and rosemary should be harvested only a few leaves at a time. It's time to use all those Spices and aromatic herbs mixtures prepared during summer and autumn.

However, there are several fresh herbs that stand up well to winter, first of all the Chives garlic (nira), similar to chives, and also dill, cilantro, parsley, celery, cress and buck's-horn plantain.
