Many small changes to eating habits add up to large gains in health benefits.

I do not use any store bought oil and vinegar salad dressing.

With the use of herbs it is possible to start changing eating habits in a subtle way. Eliminate the quantities of salt and the use of heavy dressing by substituting easy to make herbal blends.

Thyme in the garden is time well spent!

Dee Cherrie Ashman

There are several varieties of thyme in the gardens of Rural Rootz. Each serves a different purpose. My personal favourite is the creeping thyme which clings relentlessly to the rocks of Hummingbird Haven. When the tiny purple/pink blossoms emerge it is like a gift from the gods.

Undemanding French Tarragon is a delight and a blessing in any garden.

Dee Cherrie Ashman

Although there are various types of tarragon, the French Tarragon has by far the superior flavour. It is best grown from cutting to ensure a proper strain. Ours is easy to propagate and easy to divide and share with friends.

GARLIC!!!
It is hard to imagine life with out garlic!!!

We grow garlic not just in the vegetable gardens but also in the flower gardens. It gives a wonderful structure as a foil for other plants and helps to keep those other plants healthy.

Happy Easter everyone and don't forget the garlic!
