I think an Herb garden is one of the most beautiful and rewarding things I get from my gardening experience.
Yes I LOVE flowers, but I find my Herb garden so enjoyable. Herbs were one of the first things I ever grew and I've been in love with them ever since. I of course only use organic Blood Meal and my special soil recipe.
These are a few of my favorite HERBS:
Basil - Mint - Dill - Oregano - Rosemary - Sage - Lavender - Parsley - Thyme
This is my Catnip. I love the scent of it, I think is because I can tell that it's a member of the mint family and I love the smell of mint. Catnip gives a
harmless "high" to felines and I think they react more to the smell than the taste of it. Well this is what happened to mine, after my beautiful Lulu got to it.
I had great results last year with my Basil, from seeds. I'm going to try it again. Last year I made enough Pesto, that I was able to share with all my 3 sisters and my mom. It was so delish with the pine nuts- Yumm!
It was easy to find a spot for them, since my new herb bed was empty.
I'd say your kitty did love the catnip. Poor plant!
ReplyDeleteI grow herbs too but never have from seed. Gotta have basil. I just love it!
Dear Marlene, thank you so much for your concern on our tragedy, your words and prayers really mean a lot. Devastation here is much more than t.v. shows... thanks god where I live, up in the mountains and far from the sea this biggest earthquake was no harmful at all, just a huge movement.

I have the same problem, this year has been a disaster, I am waiting a couple of weeks before I replenish my herb garden.
ReplyDeleteHello Marlene,
ReplyDeleteI looove Herb Gardens, and I always make pesto too. Can't wait to plant some basil, I usually purchase the plants, and use seeds for parsley only.
Happy Spring and happy gardening!
Monica.
O I just love it, its a shame I carnt cut you off some herbs from my plant and you can propergate them on from there. I wish you lived closer, we would have a BALL girl. We are nearly comming into Autum, not been much of a summer for us, not like in past years, but I guess thats all around the world. Im waiting for my pumpkins to get bigger for winter supply. I have all the herbs and rosemary and chives, garlic and marjoram. I have some that are for colognes only not for cooking.
