Until reading this chapter I didn't realise the need for different conditions for different herbs, mine all grow in the same compost in a variety of pots and some in the garden between the flowers. Some thrive, some don't but this varies year to year ! Still there are few things more satisfying ( and money saving, supermarket herbs are extortionate and not always that fresh!!!) than picking herbs from the garden to go straight into the dish you are cooking.
The first recipe was A slow cooked rabbit with herbs. Having got over my reluctance to eat rabbit I bought a ready jointed one from a farm shop near Masham. The accompanying sauce was gorgeous but still not a great fan of rabbit. 
Pudding was much more enjoyable - Pear and chocolate oat crumble.
Crumble , always a favourite of mine right from childhood, made even better with addition of chocolate and oats.
Best served with lashings of double cream. So delicious didn't have time to take a photo before we had eaten the lot!!!!!!!
