karenloon's Karen's Herb Garden garden

Garden Type: Herb | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Clay I'm Organic!

I’ve been putting in a few favorite herbs and tomatoes the last few years, but this year I got serious about it. I dug up a patch of grass, mixed in some fertilizer and put in about 60 plants. Most of the plants are in pots and will over winter in my basement growing station. I’ve had some luck wintering plants over and will test the theory even more this year.

My biggest challenge at present is tracking all the plants and how they have performed over the season. First step has been to create decent labels, which I am still working on.
