My mom was a gourmet cook and also had a green thumb. It seems she always had fresh herbs right outside our kitchen to use in her latest test recipe. I have discovered that growing an herb garden really isn’t that difficult. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you live in an apartment or have a large yard. The type of soil you have doesn’t matter either and growing an herb garden can be done anytime of the year.

The best time to grow an herb garden starts in early spring with tiny seeds. As the weather becomes warmer, the young plants could be transplanted outdoors. For the seeds, these would be grown in four inch pots and then placed in a location with lots of sunlight. Keep in mind that while standard containers work well, any type of container could be used as long as the seeds have room to grow. Most important, if you choose anything other than a new container, use a mixture of three teaspoons bleach to a gallon of water to wash it out carefully, rinse, and then dry to kill any organisms.

Some people will choose a larger container and grow two, three, or even four herb plants together. To ensure the best flavor is produced, flower heads must be pinched off. Many types of herbs such as oregano, basil, and parsley are annuals, which means they only last one year. If you have room outdoors, you could grow an herb garden consisting of larger plants such as lavender and rosemary, which produce sprigs to last years. Herbs such as sage, mint, and chives are perennials, which means they continue growing year after year but will require some attention to ensure ongoing growth such as cutting them back.

If you have poor soil such as heavy clay you may want to consider growing your herb garden plants in a raised bed. Raised bed planter boxes can be made easily and filled with a rich soil mixture. These boxes provide great drainage that most all herbs require. Place the planter boxes in an area that receives plenty of sun, possibly even a spot near the kitchen for easy access. These planters are also great for planting and growing summer veggies or spring and
summer flowers for cutting.

As you can see, methods on how to grow an herb garden is actually relatively easy. Therefore, if you love the flavors of mint, oregano, marjoram, thyme, basil, chives, sage, tarragon, lavender, rosemary, and other herbs, this would be a great option. Without doubt, cooking with fresh herbs creates a wonderful flavor that does not come from dried herbs.

Patio Garden Outdoor

Gardening Question?

I would like to get some potted plants for my patio, I live in an apartment that's kind of dark so I can't do indoor plants to well. Anyway, I would like to have some outdoor plants that perhaps bear fruit, and seeds, and even some herb plants. I need some tips on what the best outdoor fruitbearing plants for very hot summers are (it gets to be about 100 + degrees here) and that are fairly easy to take care of since I am new at this. Also, are there any good websites for viewing pictures of fruitbearing plants and seeing info on them?

Tomatoes are fairly easy if you are able to give them plenty of sun, strawberries also. Herbs of almost any kind do well in small pots in a sunny window or a sunny spot outside. If you have to keep tomatoes in a container, make sure it's large - about 5 gallons - and plastic, as clay pots dry the soil very quickly. Plant about 2/3 - 3/4 of the tomato plant under the soil so that you'll have a very strong plant (remove all bottom leaves that would be under the soil first). Keep it moist, but not wet. Too much water will split the fruit. Strawberries look nice and do well in hanging containers since they like to vine a little bit. This will help to keep the slugs and snails away, too. They LOVE strawberries. Sprinkle herb seeds on top of some soil in a pot, then cover with a very light layer of more soil. Keep them moist at all times (very difficult in the heat, I know) until they sprout. Or buy them already started. I use a watering can for mine and just give them all a sprinkle in the morning and again in the late afternoon or early evening. So far mine are all doing well. I have a tomato, some chocolate mint and some rosemary. Good luck and happy gardening!!

You can dive into planting a basic herb garden in sublime blissful ignorance. Especially if you choose chives plants as your path into herb gardening. I speak from earthy experience. Despite a bucketful of blunders and missteps, my chives plants were thriving and bountiful.

I admit a happy chance landed chives plants into my life some years ago. Yes, I stumbled into beginning my basic herb garden by planting chives plants aplenty! Usually people are led into planting an herb garden by their love of cooking with herbs. Nope. Not in my case. Although an avid novice gardener, herbs were totally lacking from my cooking. But, an encounter with chives plants in my herb garden changed all that. The entire experience drew me to introduce you to chives as an herb plant for your garden and share my tips and discoveries gardening with chives herbs taught me.

Typically people think of chives as these dried up little green pieces that look like cuttings from your lawn. Sadly little taste survives in this dried version. Most of us get introduced to using chives as an herb simply as a condiment for a baked potato...sour cream with chives. Due to its past classification as a common household herb, the fascinating features of chives as a plant and herb have been much maligned. Here's what I unearthed as a beginner planting an herb garden when I somehow mistakenly ordered 9 chives plants, but intended to get only 1.

The Basics -Chives Plants In Your Herb Garden

Chives are part of the onion family but the flavor is much milder and more subtle. Until you've tasted fresh chives you won't believe the difference in taste from those dried up commercial counterparts you buy at the store! Chives grow in clumps, which is why they're always referred to as plural. The upright green shoots that grow from the clumps are really called the leaves of the plant.

Growing chives is a dream for beginners in basic herb gardening. I'm prime proof of how easy it is. In fact, for ease of growing I put them in the category of daylilies because they're so indestructible no matter the amount of rain or scorching heat. I was clueless how to plant my chives plants (or any herb) in the garden when they arrived. Somehow they've survived in the clay soil of hot Kentucky summers for almost a decade now. You can even dig up their roots (actually little onion-like bulbs), divide them, and replant them just like daylilies! Although chives plants are best planted in a healthy mixture of soil, peat, sand and compost, my ignorance proves chives plants do well as long as they have plenty of sun and some water now and then.

In my accidental adventure in herb garden planting, I discovered chives plants are perennial! That means, the plant dies back through the winter and sprouts new leaves in the spring. Perennials make a gardener's life far easier simply because they do automatically emerge every year without my help. Also in the spring, the chives plant produces a bounty of beautiful purple "pom-pom" flowers that sprout up on tall stems. Who knew growing chives produced beautiful flowers as well? The flowers, similar in shape to the flowers in clover but bigger, can be used in dried ornamental bouquets, too. The bees happen to love those flowers. Just by growing my chives plants, there's this added benefit of attracting the bees for pollinating some of my other garden plantings. The flowers are edible, but frankly I haven't given that a try.

Another side benefit for my outdoor garden is the chives plants actually protect my other plants and flowers from unwanted insects--like aphids. Insects apparently find chives to be repulsive. You can also use the juice of the leaves as a repellant. The juice is equally repugnant to pests. The chives plants themselves are very hardy and don't seem to be prone to diseases (or pests).

Chives Herb Garden Basics - Culinary Gems

Chives are chock full of vitamin A and C, plus calcium and iron. A great choice to flavor foods, cut chives are fat free and combine well with more than sour cream and cream cheese. I found them a winning alternative to salt seasoning. Harvesting chives is a simple task. Simply snip some of those leaves (the soft green shoots) down to the base. The chives plants will continue replenishing itself by regrowing the leaves continuously during its growing season.

Chop the leaves into smaller pieces and use them fresh. The oils of the plants are its seasoning source. By chopping the leaves, the oils are released to flavor your food along with an arresting aroma. Store what you don't use in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for about a week. Postpone washing the chives until you use them. The extra moisture will make them wilt and decay rapidly.

Add them for flavoring to perk up your soups, sandwiches, fish, vegetable dishes, sauces, and salads. The vast variety of culinary uses can ignite those creative juices and rock your recipes. For instance, I have a friend whose family loves to enjoy 'chives sandwiches' every spring. Avoid the mistake of growing chives as a basic garden herb simply for a garnish...it's so much more versatile. Try using them to make an herb vinegar. A low cost gift exhibiting your new talents in herb garden planting without revealing you're a beginner!
