I enjoy the fragrance of my garden, which is thanks to the plants that have complementary scent. Some of my favourites include rosemary, lavender, and lemon balm. All of these plants are great for adding a smell of peace and tranquility to any area, no matter how large.
Most vegetables, herbs and fruits have a delicate flavor that can be enhanced with spices. Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and other spices can give subtle flavor to vegetables, fruit and herbs. Experiment to see which spices complement the flavors of the foods you are cooking or eating.
Freezing fruits and vegetables can increase their shelf life by up to four weeks. By freezing the produce, it will stop the fruit or vegetable from going bad and make it last longer on grocery shelves. However, freezing will not make the produce taste any better, so it is best to choose fruits and vegetables that you plan to eat fresh.
