Gardening Season Underway


basil, thyme

This year I decided to do most of my gardening in big pots. I mostly do herbs and the pots are convenient. I can move them around for varying degrees of sun and shade and they are easy to weed and maintain. So far I have basil, thyme, oregano and mint. I have an extra bale of wheat straw that I will place for Jo Anne to use for a couple of tomato plants. We are putting most of this in the backyard.

We also have some rosemary shrubs we will be placing around the house in pots. Probably two in the front and one in the back. All of the herb pots are mostly filled with straw and then some soil to surround the peat pots the herbs came in. The straw allows for good dainage since the herbs do not like wet soil.
