Say you love to cook.  Say you like your herbs so fresh they make your nose sting. Say you savor every last fragrant zest of Meyer lemon, that fine baby you just spent your latte allowance on. Yeah, you're ready for more.

Oozy handfuls of the finest oregano, chive, lemon thyme, sage and lavender at your beck and call. Artichokes, citrus and edible flowers snipped practically from your back door. Smell the freshest, eat the local-ist and surrender to the most sensualist savory plant pack your palette can handle.
