Spotlight on Herbs: Bay Leaf | The humble bay leaf -- cultivated since the beginning of recorded history, used as a symbol of honor in Ancient Greek and Roman culture, and one of the most widely used culinary herbs in both Europe and North America. Living in a cold northern climate where bay laurel trees must be grown indoors, it took me two years to find one to add to my indoor garden, and (thankfully) it was one of the few plants that survived our recent move and continues to thrive with nothing but a sunny window for light! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Spotlight on Herbs: Thyme | Since winter is still firmly upon us, it's a wonderful time to think about thyme. Not only is it a great flavoring in all of the warm soups, stews, and roasts we're busy cooking, but it's a natural healer of colds, coughs, and sore throats. Thyme is an important addition to any kitchen or medicinal herb garden! | GNOWFGLINS.com

Spotlight on Herbs: Marjoram | I rarely see marjoram in the spotlight. It humbly takes its place next to showier herbs like borage and bay leaf trees, and more popular rosemary and thyme. And yet, year after year, this little plant thrives in both garden and pot. It survives the long winter, basking in the light of a sunny window. With both culinary and medicinal uses, it's an herb that deserves a second look. | GNOWFGLINS.com
