Herb Garden Information

Herb Gardening From 5,000 Feet

At some point in your life as an herb gardener, you're going to get
right down to ground level, and even below it! But for this article,
we're going to stay up a little higher and take a wider look at herb
gardening.

It appears that mankind has used herbs for as long as history has been
recorded, and archeologists have found evidence of herbs being placed
in the tombs of well-to-do or important individuals, attesting to the
value placed on the plants.

Today gardeners still enjoy the many benefits of growing and using
their own herbs. Some are grown as flavorings. Others for the scent
they lend to home-made potpourri. For teas, for medicinal purposes or
even for control of pests, herbs are planted, nurtured and put to use
for many different reasons.

Not only are the uses for a herb garden varied, but so is their form.
A gardener may plant for a very specific reason and purpose, or for a
wide intent. He or she might choose to introduce a few herbs into the
family vegetable garden, or create a separate garden for herbs alone.

Herbs can occupy almost any space for growing. A full outdoor garden
or a small plot (you don't need a lot of space to enjoy your herb
garden). A few pots on the deck, a window planter or even some indoor
containers in the kitchen, front room, or unused corner of a sunlight
bedroom can all be welcome homes for herbs. Many gardeners will have
both indoor and outdoor locations and enjoy their gardens year round.

Herbs prefer well-drained soil. If your soil is more clay-like, add
compost, peat moss or even potting soil, and work it in well to loosen
up the native soil. Outdoor herbs, planted in good soil, probably
won't need fertilizer, but you might have to supplement potted plants.

Most herbs enjoy full sun, but like all plants, each have their
preferences and you'll need to research each plant to find out how much
light, or shade, it prefers or can tolerate.

Herbs are quite resistant to diseases and insect infestations but not
totally immune. Keep an eye out for aphids, spider-mites, rust and
some forms of mold.

You can buy starter herb plants, from the nursery, and put them into
your garden, or you can start with seeds yourself. Be aware, though,
that some herbs are much more difficult than others to start from a
seed.

When planting from seeds, do so in light, shallow soil. Generally
speaking, the finer the seed the shallower it should be planted. Many
gardeners will start their seeds, indoors, in late winter to be ready
for transplant outdoors in the spring. Be aware that you may not have
success transplanting certain herbs (dill, for example, or coriander).
Wait until you can get outside and seed these in your garden or outdoor
containers directly.

Regardless of whether you start with seeds or seedlings, you'll find
growing and caring for your herbs, and finally harvesting them and
putting them to use, to be a very satisfying experience -- so much more
so than simply running to the store for a bundle of herbs.

Whether you're just "putting in a few things" to test the waters, or
you want to dive whole-heartedly into your herb gardening experience,
it's always a good idea to seek the advice of experts to learn what you
can expect and to get yourself off to the proper start.

There are many different sources of information, including our website,
that you can access as you prepare. The staff at your local nursery can
be extremely helpful, and they'll be able to advise you well for your
particular climate. If you have a community garden in your area, you
can seek the advice of other like-minded gardeners. Although many will
guard their secrets closely, most will be happy to talk with you and
share their experiences.
