Loving My Fresh Herb Garden

by Cheryl C

Well they are planted and growing and I'm a happy woman
I love herbs, growing them, smelling them, cooking with them, drying them and making things with them.
So I've loaded up on all the ones that I love and could find locally this year, plus one of my wonderful son-in-laws got me 6 so he made points once again. He does that well..;)
They are so pretty, don't you agree? So fresh and oh you should smell them.

Be sure you get good quality herbs, and that they have no bugs or spots of any kind.

When growing herbs you need to remember, water with fresh water almost daily. Unless it rains, then save your water for a day or until it stops raining. Make sure they have good drainage and get a good amount of sun.

Touch them and look for any pests. The good thing is most herbs don't get too many pests, in fact they even repel some pests.

Here are tips on growing herbs on my blog that are very helpful and recipes too.

Here is a cute idea- paint an old wagon any bright pretty color, then fill it with pots of herbs. You can move the wagon any place you want too! How convenient right? Get more tips on my blog. I love growing fragrant herbs and cooking and making so many herbal recipes. I hope you give growing herbs a try, just remember they need watered daily, but hate wet feet, need 6 hours of sunshine and cut often to encourage new growth!
