With its lovely fragrance and interesting uses, this perennial herb definitely deserves some love.

To add a subtle almond like flavour to your fruit and jams, simply add a small handful of fresh flowers to the pan whilst cooking your fruit, let them infuse and then remove them. We recommend starting with a little and tasting it as you go!

And by the way, Meadowsweet is coming back in stock at Hooksgreen Herbs, so keep an eye out to get your hands on this amazing herb.

Let's talk about how to keep your Purrsian Blue thriving. 

1. Give this plant a sunny position in your garden, to optimise flowering and growth 

2 . Choose well drained soil. Purrsian Blue is relatively drought tolerant, so it doesn’t need frequent watering once established

3. Trimming after the first flush of flowers encourages further growth 

4. Bees love these flowers, so let some blooms remain to keep providing a food source for our busy pollinators!

Lemon thyme is a fabulous herb with a fresh citrus scent, evergreen foliage and plenty of uses in the kitchen.

We love the fact that this herb looks just as good in the garden as it does on a plate, alongside the fact that being a perennial means it can be enjoyed year after year.

Let us know if you would like some cooking inspiration for your lemon thyme!

Let’s talk about how to make the most of your fennel.

From the crisp bulb to the delicate fronds and aromatic seeds, there are plenty of ways to use fennel in the kitchen.

Roast the bulb, use the fronds fresh as a garnish or add fennel seeds to dishes for a stronger aniseed flavour.

What's your favourite way to use fennel? Let us know down below!

As we are coming into autumn and cooler weather, it is time to think about bringing your basil indoors to keep harvesting.

We recommend using a 15 inch deep pot to give the roots plenty of room to grow, and then following these steps:

Step 1: Add fresh potting soil to your new planter. Mark a circle around your basil, approximately 6 inches wide, then use a trowel to dig down around 6 inches.

Step 2: Gently loosen the soil around the plant and continue digging deeper, working your way underneath the root ball.

Step 3: Carefully lift the basil from the soil, keeping as much of the root ball intact as possible.

Step 4: Place the plant into its new pot and fill around the roots with fresh potting soil.

Step 5: Give it a thorough watering and place it somewhere warm and bright indoors.

Chicory is one of those herbs that’s a little more interesting than it first appears.

It’s easy to grow in a sunny spot with fertile, well drained soil. Remember to keep watering during dry spells and you should be rewarded with plenty of fresh leaves.

In the kitchen, chicory has a naturally bitter, slightly nutty flavour. Young leaves work well in salads, while roasting, grilling or braising helps mellow the bitterness.

And our favourite part... chicory roots can be roasted and ground as a coffee substitute!

P.S We’re currently harvesting this crop, so it won’t be available for a little while. We will let you know when it is back!
