The answers to today's Strands, game #80, are BASIL SAGE THYME PARSLEY 
ROSEMARY CORIANDER SPANGRAM: HERBGARDEN My rating: Moderate My score: Perfect 

It's a common refrain from me that Strands can be very, very difficult until 
something clicks at which point it becomes a lot more approachable. Today's 
game is another good example of that. 'Home grown', as a theme clue, is 
actually reasonably helpful, but it wasn't enough for me to realize that what 
I needed here was herbs. It was only once I stumbled upon BASIL, entirely by 
accident, that I understood what was needed  and from that time on (THYME 
on?) it was simply a matter of finding the words. 

The lyrics to Scarborough Fair , lodged firmly in my mind from both the Simon 
& Garfunkel cover and from Bob Dylan's peerless Girl from the North Country , 
helped me find several more, which was a nice bonus because the latter is now 
on repeat in my head, and that's never a bad thing.
