Herb Gardening

Herb gardening isn't that difficult, though it is impressive when you tell someone that you used your home grown oregano in your pasta sauce last night. Very impressive.

Growing herbs and using them in cooking just as folks have done for hundreds of years is still earth friendly, therapeutic and economical today as it was back then!

Grow Herbs.It’s a feel-good garden.


Not only can you grow herbs to dry and use in your gourmet meals ( or everyday meals) , but there are some ornamental herbs that are just nice additions to your flower garden because of the size,look , or color.

Look for certain textures that compliment other flowers. Think of herb plants as another plant option when you’re designing and planning your backyard garden. (How about a border of thyme?)

This type of garden has another benefit; the gardens smell wonderful!

Go ahead. Give it a try.

You can start by adding a few herbs to small area of your flower garden or a few plants in a container herb garden. Planting herbs close to your kitchen door makes it easy to snip and cook!

You’ll find that planting two or three of each will meet your basic cooking with herbs needs. Any excess can be dried, stored in containers and used over the winter.

Of course sharing your garden wealth makes you very popular with the neighbors, so if you do have an abundance , give extra plants away.

I have to warn you though....you quickly become spoiled and get used to the fresh ingrediants!
