Basil: {Ocimum basilicum} King of the herbs, basil is a favorite among many cooks for its incredible flavor, which is at its peak when used fresh from the plant. The sweet tasting miniature leaves are ready for use straight off the plant. No chopping or mincing required. For best flavor, add fresh basil at the end of the cooking process.

Italian Parsley: {Petroselinum crispum} Full-flavored, flat leaved, parsley has a sweet, earthy, celery flavor that is rich in minerals (especially iron).

Add fresh parsley at the end of the cooking process for the freshest flavor.

Strawberry: {Fragaria vesca} These decorative little plants produce delicious aromatic red strawberries, about twice the size of wild berries. They will bear fruit the second year, although in some cases they may bear fruit the first fall. Alpine strawberry plants stay compact and produce few runners, so they make great houseplants when they aren't producing fruit.
