Fresh herbs are a great way to elevate your home cooking. Whether it's basil, thyme, rosemary, or sage, herbs can be used not just in meals, but in drinks too! And they're easier to grow than normal houseplants (think fire escape herb gardens). Stephen Orr, editor in chief of Better Homes & Gardens, and author of the book, The New American Herbal: An Herb Gardening Book, returns to the show to give us some tips for starting an herb garden this summer and takes your calls.
