Herb Garden

Herbs are used as supplements in many diet and other health supplements as well as for cooking to give our food flavor. You can grow your own herb garden.

Herbs have growing seasons just as flowers: annual, biennials, and perennials. You need to decide where you are going plant your herb garden. Will it be a window box in the kitchen? Are you planning to set aside outdoor space? Will you plant them in herb containers or a single pot for each?

Some herbs can be invasive. So if you are planning to put them in your outside garden, do a little research upfront. You should research particular herbs you want to grow so that you can be sure you are planting them correctly and that you know how often to water them and what nutrients they will need.

Planting an herb garden outside takes planning just as it does with a garden of flowering plants. You need to decide how big it will be and if it will get the correct amount of sunlight. You need to make sure you allow enough room for the root growth of each type. You should plant the tall ones in back.

When planting your herb garden, separate your annuals from the perennials. You do not want to disturb your perennials when you pull up the annuals. You can plant your perennials along the edge of the space so that when you till the soil to plant annuals again, you will not disturb them.

Different plants have different needs. Many of them need to planted in alkaline soil. You need to decide upfront what plants you need and research the requirements for each. If you are using seeds to germinate your garden, follow the directions on the seed packet for their soil, water, and temperature requirements.

You can get the supplies you need for your herb garden on the Internet.

Herbs have a pleasant fragrance and will add to the aromas emanating from your flowering plants.
