I use a lot of herbs in my cooking, and nothing can beat the garden fresh. I picked a site next to the kitchen for my herb project. The site was perfect, sheltered and discrete. I went down to Mitre10 and Bunning Warehouse to pick up some herb seedlings: purple sage, sage, roman chamomile, curly parsley, lemon balm, spearmint, rosemary, shallots, spring onions, curry plant, greek oregano and sweet basil.
The spearmint plant thrive at the corner. Like any mint family, the plant is very invasive and spread aggressively. I have to restrict root growth in a container. Laxman and I picked up two wooden planters along river road for $30.00. They are great for growing annual herbs. Here we got sweet basils and spring onions. I absolutely adore basils, especially in my pasta or salad. Can't wait to make my first batch of pesto !
