Planting Your First Herb Garden

After you have decided that you would like to plant your first herb garden you might be trying to figure out where to start. herbgarden_backyard1.jpg You will need to decide where you would like to plant your herb garden. You can grow an indoor herb garden as well as an outdoor garden. Picking which herbs you would like to grow will be necessary. Location for the garden and type of herb will need to correlate. Planting an herb that likes the direct sun in a shady location will not result in a successful garden.

Because it is your first herb garden it might be in your best interest to start out small. Pick only one or two herbs that have similar requirements to grow. Once you have had success with those two then you can add more into the garden. Also keep in mind that each herb plant yields a considerable amount of food so you do not want to overplant anything or you might end up with too much to use before it goes bad.

Growing the Rosemary Herb is Easier than You Think!

The rosemary herb has gotten a bad rap as a plant that is difficult to grow, but this is simply not the case. herbgarden_rosemary.jpgThis herb can actually handle a lack of attention and care quite swimmingly if it is given the best start in life. The key to successfully growing the rosemary herb lies in its humble beginnings; if you get that part right, the rest of the growing season and a bountiful harvest are sure to follow.

The Attraction of Rosemary

The rosemary herb is known as a triple threat for gardeners, because it is ornamental, fragrant and full of delightful flavor. In warmer climates, rosemary can be grown year round, but in colder areas, this herb needs to be brought indoors during the frosty months of winter or grown as an annual. It is much more challenging to keep the rosemary herb happy indoors during the winter months than it is outdoors during the summer, which is why many gardeners will choose to grow it as an annual.
