Iechris's Herb garden

Created on Friday, 21 Sep 07

My herb garden in all in containers at this point due to my dogs and the full sun locations in my back yard. The full sun in my back yard is not really in areas where beds would make sense, and I’d be worried about my dogs messing everything up, so all my herbs are in containers. Some are mixed containers and others are just in their own container. I have enjoyed harvesting my herbs, both cooking with them myself and sharing with friends. I have propogated many of my mints for friends and co-workers.

Garden Type: Herb | Sun: Full Sun | Soil: Potting Mix
