Since moving up here to the boonies, I started growing and using herbs for cooking and natural medicine. I've honed it to 4 that I use repeatedly that are easy to grow. We have a short summer here. Cooking is a skill everyone should have in their toolkit. Doesn't hurt to learn to can or freeze your own food. Start with high acid foods that require less work. Apples and tomatoes are two. I make salsa and sauce from on sale veggies from the market. You want them real ripe for this anyway. I use freezer bags or better pint glass jars when I have extra.
