\"My<\/a>

My little herb garden<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the best things about the summer is getting to use fresh herbs without paying an arm and a leg at the grocery store.<\/p>\n

I’ve finally got my little herb patch just about where I like it. It’s only a little 5 ft. by 4 ft. patch off the back patio, but I love it.<\/p>\n

I’ve had my herbs in pots on apartment balconies in years past as well and they’ve still thrived, but it does seem easier to have them in the ground. It’s a little less watering, but a little more weeding.<\/p>\n

There are a few I’ve kept in pots, rosemary and bay laurel so I can move them inside for the winter, and two kinds of mint so they don’t take over the entire garden.<\/p>\n

The other herbs are flat-leaf parsley, basil, thyme, oregano, sage, garlic chives and lavender.<\/p>\n

So far no issues with little critters nibbling at anything, but I’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n

If you have any wish for your own little herb garden, plants like thyme, oregano, chives and sage are super easy to grow, and not very picky about sun and water.<\/p>\n

Many types of those will also come back each year or self-seed. Good luck if you give it a try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
