This shows my aloe vera plant that I paid $5 for!!
Here is another picture of everything.
All of the herbs are in 2in pots and were $.50 each. I couldn't resist! I got chives, cilantro, bouqet dill, italian parsley, purple basil, creeping rosemary, sage, thyme, lemon grass, spearmint, curry, red rubin basil, cinnamon basil, epazote, salad burnet, sweet basil, lemon basil, fennel, anaheim chili pepper and tam jalapenos. Some I got two of and others I have no idea what they are or how to use them but for that price, I figured I could learn! Now I just have to decide where to plant them or to use pots so I can bring them indoors.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas for me? I am new to herbs to any comments are welcome.
Blessings,
Rashel
Wow Thats great. I know a little about herbs Im still studing them. But I would plant your rosemary in a pot. I put mine in the ground and it didn't come back. I found out it has to be covered up. But if you put it in a pot you can have it all winter too. I love basils. they are good spices for chilli and italian foods. You will have funlearning. I have I love herbs. Its hard to tell you about them in a comment. I would get and herb dictoary. Thats what helped me. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletei also forgot to say that cilantro mixed with tomatoes, onions and a lime juiced in it makes a good chip dip. and is good on tacoes. I putspearmint in my water and sometimes my tea. It is very good.
ReplyDeleteChelle, thank you for your help! I have been reading online, looking at what books I have and getting tips off the little tabs that came with the plants. I am anxious to keep learning and experimenting.

With the ones that you purchased more than one of I would plant one in a pot and one in the ground. If you purchased oregano, plant it outside in a garden or flower bed. It grows well and comes back bigger and stronger every year as does tarragon and chives. My sage came back this year but has not looked very plentiful. Mints are very easy to grow and will take over everything if you allow it to get out of control. I have had some issues with the other herbs I have planted in the last 2 years and will probably try some more in pots to be able to have all year long. I hope this helps.

ReplyDeleteThat's great Rashel. I am planning a herb garden section in my garden this year too! At the moment I am growing in pots, aloe vera, some thyme, oregano, basil, parsley and mint. I hope to get some more when the weather warms up a little.
ReplyDeleteThank you to everyone!! I appreciate all the comments!
