Herbs
How do I set about making a herb garden? Can you suggest some simple home-made herbal cosmetics? Our grandmothers had lots of herbal remedies - are any of them applicable and safe to use today? I cook with some of the usual herbs - thyme, sage and parsley - but I've seen no recipes for using dill. Any suggestions?
In this ' Plant a Herb Garden ' Year, put your questions on the growing and use of herbs to Monica Mawson , cookery writer and broadcaster, and Dr Malcolm Stuart , Director of the Herb Society.
In the Chair Jill Burridge Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
