Randy with the 18 out of 20 - color me seriously impressed! If I hadn't written the quiz, there's no way I would have done that well.

11 out of 20 for me. Some were near misses for me (reversing the answer on the ones where you identify two plants) The basil question got me... Sure looks like thai basil to me. But if the only way to tell is by smell and seeing the small hairs its kinda hard to know from a small picture. :) Speaking of herbs, I just went to the Herb Farm near Seattle for my birthday and bought one of their recipe books. Much of the book is devoted to identifying, buying, growing, and using herbs; its a top notch book. Hopefully I'll be better at this herb thing someday.

LOL...I'm actually impressed with myself. I need to get very familiar with what this herbs look like 'cause I love to experiment with flavors.
