This week I stopped at a popular resort LaHaut to lime for a couple of hours by the pool. They have a great view of the Pitons, a sweet little pool and the gardener, Julian has been developing some new gardens. He has collected a few plants that we do not have and he has an established herb garden. We started chatting and I asked him if we could get some starts from his herbs, he graciously complied. We dug some basil, dill, rosemary, lemon basil and thyme. I took them to work the next day and removed the temporary ixora's from the pots and replaced them with new herbs. So we now have nine herbs for the kitchen garden and the chef is happy once again. The chef offers a cooking class on Saturday mornings and loves to walk the gardens sharing the aromas, textures and experience of freshly cut herbs with the guests.
