Along with asparagus and strawberries, herbs are among the first things to arrive in the market here in Maryland.  A lot of farmers have been getting a head start on their herbs by starting them under cover in hoop houses, so they are available now, ready to use, or to grow at home.  And Chef JP agrees with me, this is a delightful way to add accents to your cooking.

All across Maryland, farmers are selling fresh herbs in pots, which can be transplanted, or as cut bunches which can be used right away or be hung out to dry.
