I use a lot of herbs and spices in my cooking - especially basil and chives. I am diabetic so I use seasonings to "ramp" up the flavor without adding carbs! Nothing beats freshly grown herbs!Quote:

In that case I may have to try a few. I do have a couple window box style planters that I could use for those items. Thanks for the tip!
Yes, I use those types of planters myself - put in a very sunny area and water daily!Quote:

I have window boxes and a couple of flower gardens and i'll be planting more lilac trees and another butterfly bush and some more rose bushes plus my vegetable garden.
Do you grow a large garden or just enough to dine on when it is ready to pluck?
I grow a good size garden love my fresh veggies and things,as i do blueberry and strawberry bushes as well as rasberries,and my flower gardens are pretty good size,love the smells of my flowers.
Very cool. Mine is small, but I enjoy watching it come up and of course the aromas from the flowers and the flavors from the garden.
I want to try parsley, green onions and cucumbers again next spring. I don't know what the heck happened this last season, but my annuals were all stunted.
And I agree ornamentmaven- nothing like fresh herbs- I'm a new convert!
I re-did a portion of my backyard this past year and only planted perennials. But, I did grow a couple of Green Pepper plants that are now inside and still producing. Have not yet decided about next Spring... :santasmile:
