My Herbs are Coming!!

I just took a peak yesterday and 4 of my herbs have already sprouted: Flax, Johnny Jump-ups, Yarrow and California Poppy. Little tiny babies, but they're there! I plan to use them in my cooking and my teas ~ drying and fresh. Apparently, you can use the johnny jump-ups to decorate cakes and desserts because they have a sweet taste ~ can't wait to try it. California poppy has a nice calming effect and flax is good for lowering cholesterol. I'll post recipes as I use them. They all only took 5 days to germinate ~ WOW!
