An Herbal Border
Many of us knew these four herbs before we could cook, courtesy of
Simon and Garfunkle's "Scarborough Fair", which is based on an old
riddle song "The Cambric Shirt". Recreationists should note that
the refrain parsely, sage, rosemary and thyme can only be traced back
to the nineteenth century - it may be a corruption of an old refrain, "every heart grows merry
in time".
A Reversible Herbal Border
This version features a reversing repeat. All of these herbs
grow in my garden.
