Herbs And Spices: In The Garden And On Your Plate

Most of us have a spice rack with lots of different choices in it, but if you’re not a gourmet chef, you might not know which herbs and spices pair the best with different meats and veggies. Then there's the ones with fancy packaging sold fresh at the store-- are they really that much better than your cupboard’s dry goods? 

On Friday's Up to Date, we delve into the pungent world of herbs and spices to see which can survive and thrive in your own Kansas or Missouri backyard and what's worth the splurge on aisle two.

Guests:

  • Barbara Fetchenhier, garden interpreter for the Heartland Harvest Garden at Powell Gardens

HEAR MORE: Barbara Fetchenhier will be part of the activities from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. June 21 at Powell Gardens’ BUZZ! A Celebration of Pollinators in the Garden.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
