| Impact Report | Growing and Using Herbs This program was presented as a leader training to the Union County Extension Association of New Mexico clubs and members in March 2010. Many people are begining to look at a new "old" way to season their foods, make lotion etc. They are looking to growing their own herbs in order to have fresh herbs for cooking and other purposes. The member of the Union County EANM received information on growing herbs, where to grow, how to propagate, how to use herbs in cooking - what herbs work best with what kinds of foods, herb prepartion etc. 25% of the members reported that they have started a kitchen herb garden in their windows and 15% reported that they added a herb garden to their flower garden. The members also reported that it was a little harder to herbs that what they had thought and that you need to be sure a mark what plants are herbs and the variety in order to keep them straight when picking the herbs. |
