Growing your own Herb Garden:
Make this year your time to start planting some herbs. Start with just a few of your favorites that you know
you will use. A good beginner variety is, Parsley, dill, oregano, chives, basil, mint and thyme. You add as
you go. Start your first herb garden with starter plants that are about 4 - 5 inches tall. You want to start off
with having a herb garden that you are ready to admire and begin enjoying as soon as the plants mature
just enough to have clippings and not kill the plant off. Any place you want to grow your herbs will be just
fine, whether they are in containers resting on your kitchen window shelf or a small outside area you have
set aside just for herbs. You decide, as you will be the one caring for these mighty plants. By early
summer, you won't believe how big and wonderful your starter plants have grown. In choosing your
favorite herbs, remember they are not just to look nice, they are to enjoy in flavorful foods. Many of the
selections mentioned are for, meats, sauces, soups and garden salads. Fresh mint is great for teas and ice
cream. You will be clipping off dill all through the summer months to add a nice addition to your patio
served garden salads. Herbs have so many other additional areas of use, but for the beginner, just start off
thinking you are growing these fragrant plants for food flavoring and then advance to other areas of use, in
adding them for medicinal uses.
Herb gardens are a great gift to give to friends and family. Everyone should try their hands at growing a
few simple herbs at some time during the spring and summer months. Take the Time to add herbs to any
flower or vegetable garden area and watch a wonderful display of activity begin.
