Way back on Day 1 I said that I wanted to grow crops that would normally cost a lot to buy in a supermarket. Herbs ended up being a good choice, as the price per kilo is quite high (although I don't know many people who buy herbs by the kilo). Just in case you were wondering, here are the prices that I got from my local supermarket for the herbs in my garden (prices are for fresh, not dried produce).
Garlic Chives - $98.00 / kg
Coriander - $54.00 / kg
Sweet Basil - $43.78 / kg
Afro Parsley - $30.30 / kg
Spring Onions are really cheap, coming in at $6.30 / kg. However, mine were free i.e. we ate them and I planted the roots, so anything I get out of them is a bonus. They're going very well, with one of them doubling its size in the last eight days.
