Cilantro, basil, rosemary...

   
... and mint. Those who know me may wonder why someone with a black thumb is posting pictures of plants. (And by the way, I am really pleased that these have not died on me yet. Knock on wood.) It's that I miss food flavored with fresh herbs. The only fresh herb available in markets in Erbil is dill... although I think there are some rosemary bushes lining the walkway to the front gate of the fake Sheraton. And of course, lots of people have mint growing in their gardens. Anyway, if any of you think of things to add to my herb garden that are idiot proof, please send seeds.

What about chive? I love chive, adds that little bit of green to a sandwich and that slight onion flavor without the horrid smell. Will grow without any problem. Oh, and the purple blossoms can be added to a salad for color. How do we get seeds to you? Is there now mail service? If so what is the address?
