Thanks all for your responses :) ...I was asking for pretty much any herb. In my mind I was thinking calendula, So tonight i rinsed them well then patted them dry. Tomorrow I'll cut some curry and gently rinse, they dont seem to hold on to much dirt.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
