It was real interesting because I wanted to know about the anti-flatulance herb. I enjoyed taking this quiz!

Am very low on my seasonings and have to redo my herb garden. I made stew last night that was kinda tasteless. Am helping my son on his house and working quite a bit as a Home Care Provider. Garden is going in late this year...but it will definately be going in! I miss my fresh herbs and some of my seasonings.

Can't tax tiny pics. and what no smell-a-vision? The litte mint looks like basil. et's have a real test! I grow all these herbs (except Russian tarragon)and they don't look like these tiny specimens!
