Herbs that I'll be Growing this Winter
I"ve been reading the old herb posts and thought I would share what I have started so far. I am very new at this and it basically started with finding a few things on sale. Thanks to those that I pm'ed with questions!
Parsley oregano and cilantro and lettuce seeds were gradually started last winter to have more green around, and the herbs grew nicely without taking much space or effort. Lettuce production was just okay and I will try harder next year. One was from a kit that was like a soup can that went on sale after the holidays and were eventually potted into ordinary clay pots when the weather warmed up. I bought a few Bonnie Plants herbs when the big box stores had their spring sale. It was too early for tomato and peppers so I scooped up a few herbs - pineapple sage died from mites but more oregano and lemon thyme is going strong. I found a columnar basil plant locally, yay! Will start cuttings soon. This is the basil that doesn't seed. Last week a few flats of sale plants came home and I am in the process of potting some up for indoor overwintering. Its too hot and dry to be planting outside this week. another pineapple sage golden sage common sage purple sage greek oregano hot and spicy oregano sweet marjoram an unmarked mint, probably spearmint mojito mint, Passed at $4 just bought at $1 lemon balm german chamomile sorrell lemon grass stevia arugula (already flowering) dill fennel germannder rue - Lisa |
