I am putting in a new garden this year and I'm expanding my herb garden. My herb garden is a little far from the house and kitchen in the yard, so I've decided this year to make a new herb garden outside the kitchen door on the deck. I will be assembling this over the next two weekends and I'll post some pictures. If you like, you can join in. Below is a list of the herbs I'm including along with some notes. I like to pick out different terra cotta pots, we live near Seagrove NC, the pottery capital of the US, so I will visit there also to pick up some new pots to add to my collection.
Thyme - thyme is a perennial, very good for chicken dishes, potato dishes and as an "add in" while cooking pastas, green beans, zucchini, onions.
Lemon Thyme - basically same as regular flavor thyme.
Oregano - a perennial, grows like a week in a "running, viney" fashion.
Parsley Italian Flat Leaf - parsley seems to always get eaten by monarch butterfly larvea, I have a hard time keeping this growing without it getting eaten!!!
Basil - Lots of basil - an annual, so you have to replant every year. Good for everything!
Dill - An annual also, which gets eaten a lot, but if you time it right you can harvest prior to it getting eaten!!!
Sweet Bay - I found some really nice sweet bay leaf plants, small, so I'll get young tender leaves to dry. Sweet bay is a perennial shrub!
I'll add some pics later today also!! xoxo gotta get going.
