| Elisabeth Payne, a program assistant for the Pasco County Cooperative Extension Service, was the guest speaker at a meeting of the West Pasco Historical Society held on Jan. 13, 2007. Her topic was “Herbs in the Garden—The Art of Intermingling.” According to Ms. Payne, “It's easy and convenient to grow herbs and vegetables together in the same pot. Just be sure to match plants with similar growing conditions and seasons. For example, annual herbs like cilantro, dill or parsley get along well with beets, carrots and radishes.” She also advised, “Avoid overcrowding and place herbs in front for easy picking.” |
