A Potted Herb Garden
Thursday, August 07th, 2008 | Author: admin
A potted herb garden is the perfect way to grow herbs. You can move your herb garden around and even place it indoors during inclement weather conditions. Pots can be placed closer to the kitchen (as close as in the kitchen window if you like) and a pot will also contain the herb (some herbs are great at taking over the entire garden bed if you let them).
It’s also a great way to make use of space in a variety of places that a regular garden bed may not be possible.
Herbs that do well in pots include basil, sage, dill, mint and lavendar.� I also prefer to grow parsley in a pot.
As with any gardening done in pots, the most important 2 factors are:
1.� Good quality potting soil
2.� Keep the soil moist (it doesn’t have the same ability to cope with dry conditions that a regular garden bed has).
There is nothing more satisfying than adding your own freshly grown herbs to your cooking!
Why not start your own potted herb garden today?

A potted herb garden has been on my list of things to do for sometime. I just didn’t know where to start. Thanks for the tips.

Now that I have the vegie garden in, I’m thinking about herbs next. We already have about 6 rosemary plants scattered around the garden, but I’m keen to get a bit more variety! Thanks for the tips of where to start.

I tried herbs in pots but prefer them in the gerden. I often have a hedge of parsley, but usually only one or two bushes of whatever else I’ve put in. I share my parsley with family and friends, so I don’t mind planting a lot of it. I love to walk in my tiny garden and watch the bees in the basil and pineapple sage.

Herbs in containers are very easy and make it possible to have access to beautiful fresh herbs even in the smallest places. They do require more attention and water though. Personally my herbs thrive more in the ground than they do in pots, but that may have more to say about my gardening skills than the plants themselves
