Herbs are a wonderful class of plants that has made life better for
mankind from the very beginning of history. To this day they are still

and I love to tell others about how they can also gain the same
satisfaction that I have. So go out and plant some rosemary or basil
today.

Why those two fairly pedestrian herbs?

Most culinary herbs are fairly pedestrian.

Most are indeed, but not anglica, or lovage or tarragon.

I'm just wondering why rosmary and basil given that they are so common and
any gardener with an interest in veg growing would grow them.

If the OP has found the 'joys of herb growing' then I'm curious as to why
they name two common herbs. I wouldn't include in any joy category. Useful
yes, but joy, no. Anglica is joyful and especially once it's glaced.

Is that in a glass or on a cake?
