Recently, we told you about our veg patch which from time to time contributes ingredients to our dishes. Coming up in the next week or so we have our salmon and herb quiche which will feature herbs from our garden. We grow quite a selection for a small garden so we thought we'd share them with you and maybe inspire you to try a little 'grow you own'.
