It is raining heavily here this morning and the dark night
has lingered far longer than it ought.
But, then, it is mid-winter so I will not complain.
Before this current round of wet weather arrived, son helped
me to set up my little herb garden. We
bought plain storage cube boxes and he has drilled holes in the bottom before
filling them with potting mix.
The cubes are sitting atop what will become another storage
place for firewood. The herbs should
look good when looking out the window here.
From left to right, I have so far planted pineapple sage,
upright rosemary, English lavender, garden mint, and common thyme at the far
right.
One of the two empty boxes is designated for some salad
burnet, but I am not sure yet of the other one.
I am thinking maybe sweet violets or lemon balm.
Mittens is quite unimpressed by it all.
May your day be a happy one 😊
Margaret.
Looks good! Easy to tend!!
ReplyDeleteMittens would probably prefer that you plant some Catnip in one of the empty containers.
ReplyDeleteHaha, she probably would! :)
DeleteTigger would also recommend catnip. What about some calamint, oregano or marjoram, or some sweet cicely?
ReplyDeleteMittens would love the catnip, as would Millie - and probably roll on all my herbs! I am hoping to use them mostly for herbal tisanes so was looking for things that have no side effects (which will probably rule out the lemon balm).
DeleteHerbs sounds great! And what a cute parting pic :-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish we were home more so we could do something like that!
ReplyDeleteThat will be a great herb garden.
ReplyDeleteWe planted dill and basil this year. Both are slow to grow but are still alive so that’s something…
Your herb garden is looking wonderful! Hope you work out what to put in your spaces.
ReplyDeleteI love that there's a spot for firewood underneath...so clever! I've always thought it would be fun to have a little tea garden...maybe chamomile, mint, etc. Just a thought if you're an herbal tea drinker! It all looks terrific. Mary
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing quite like having your own fresh herbs whether it be for mint tea or home made pesto.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea for a raised garden, Margaret. Especially as it doubles as firewood storage.
