Herb Garden

Filed under: Herb Garden — Butterflygirl @ 2:53 pm

Last year I started an herb garden. What’s growing so far in it this year is sage, terragon, fennel, lavender, rosemary, thyme, lemon balm, pepperment, spearament, borage, savory, oregano and chives. I still have several basils, some chamomile, anise and a few others to put out still.

    What exactly is an ‘apical bud’ - do you mean just a regular flower bud?

    I am definitely in agreement with H. Shukla on the hand clipping. I’ve had the experience we’re I have hand clipped apical buds, and it helps the growth and vitality of the herb. Try It!

    I enjoyed reading your blog. What a great thing it is to be able to share information like this on the Internet….

    I realize this post is quite old but I’m wondering if you have noticed if butterflies are more or less attracted to particular herbs. We’re adding quite a bit of edible plants to our garden this year and hope to also encourage more butterflies to visit.
