Glad to hear that you are happy with your Watkins spices and herbs and that you haven't had any allergic reactions. I've been reading your blog for awhile now, really enjoying your articles as I'm interested in living with simplicity too.

And as a second part to that: Growing most herbs is so easy it is almost criminal! Basil will take a licking and keep on ticking, thyme grows even in the hottest and dryest of pots, tarragon will come back year after year in most places and parsley will do the same if the seeds are allowed to fall. One sure way of knowing if an herb is pure is to grow it yourself. Great post!
