That sounds so cool; I have always loved the idea of having herbs on hand. In reality, I'm afraid to have houseplants of any kind because of the dog and cat. Either they would kill the plants or, my luck, they'd eat the plants and the get poisoned, or at least digest them a little and give them back. birdpress’s last blog post..two paws up

I’m generally lost in the kitchen if I don’t have a couple of potted herb plants floating around, Basil probably being my favourite because it’s hard to kill (not impossible), grows back quickly and I use it in a lot of stuff.

We had lemon grass but the dog keeps eating it… grumble grumble

Lemon Balm and Pineapple Sage make lovely cooling teas for summer sipping. Add chamomile in it’s various forms too. German chamomile for headache teas, apple chamomile for the fragrance, lemon thyme to use with chicken, maybe a patch of lawn thyme to release fragrance when you walk, sit, lie on it? Your garden is going to be the sweetest around. I wish you many, many bees.

Oh I’ll be reading with interest about your herb garden… I am very keen to put in lots and lots of herbs here… we have the space and the water, I am just not sure what to put in and what to use them for.. apart from the standard cooking herbs!

I am not sure about what the restrictions are on seeds going from my neck of the woods to your neck of the woods - but our basil and coriander have pumped out mega seeds and self-seeded everywhere here, so if you want (and the government doesn't mind) I can send you a swag. Just one warning - when your lemongrass becomes a mass and you want to separate it for replanting, don't do it just before a flood. jeanie’s last blog post..Me and my Valentines...

Gorgeous. Now that we are having some luck keeping the animals in, I am looking at replanting the herbs. Lemon Balm? Sounds devine. Widdle Shamrock’s last blog post..Opening a can of worms
