REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Plant an Herb GardenConsider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?
Carin Carlson 10/05/2019 4:24 PMI decided I’d like herbs year round. In the winter it’s not nice to cross the muddy yard in the rain to get to the garden bed. So I got a container to keep on the back porch, which also gets the most sun in the winter. I planted tarragon and oregano starts, and divided existing chives, sage, and mint. Now I just need to keep them alive! -
