Herb gardening

I've always liked the good, tasty food, but didn't know the spices, and herb plant. I made myself familiar with the herb gardening culture on a French tour in year of 1996. You can see many-many photo from my plants on my Hungarian herb garden pages (search the "Fotó galéria" words!).
