Show us your herb garden!

[smokenoob]

I decided to put in a raised herb garden. I ordered the iron & welding today to match this one.


I have a rosemary that is taking over:



This is my mini garden until the new one comes.

[Mr. Bones]

Show us your herb garden!

I don't live in a state that would condone such activities, jus at present

[Troutman]

When did that ever stop you

[MBMorgan]

There’s always a place for you here in Colorado, Bones ... 😎 ...

[Mr. Bones]

Troutman, $#¡+, did I miss a STOP Sign?
MBMorgan Usedta absolutely LOVE Colorado, back in th '70's.
Now, it's infested with humans.
Ugh.
Thanks fer th invite, though Brother! Much appreciated

[lemayp]

Mine is a few weeks out. Turned compost pile last weekend and prepped raised beds, plants have been ordered. Somewhat regretting letting the gardens I inherited when i bought the house die years ago. Neglect took most of them but the rosemary went by way of a chainsaw... Now I'm having to start them all over.

[smokenoob]

looking forward to your progress, fresh herbs rock!

[RonB]

I grow medicinal herbs, so no photos or locations...

[Mr. Bones]

Medicine is all in th world I was referencin, earlier, in my post above.
Before current pharm, plants, leaves, stalks, herbs, berries, blossoms, roots, barks, etc. were what sustained us hominids health/lives, fer summat a longish time, by my reckonin.

[smokenoob]

Ok, how bout a pic of the still then!

[RonB]

smokenoob - Well, that won't hold still...

[randy.56]

Couple months away from planting in my neighborhood, Saturday nite it's going down to 25

[smokenoob]

Oh, I forgot, it’s still snowing in places....

[Jon Solberg]

Yes. Its snowing right this minute

[Steve R.]

Here in Kentucky, the rule of thumb is don't plant anything until after Derby Day. At least not anything that can be killed by a late freeze.

[Troutman]

You want a pic of dirt? Just planted this past weekend..

[smokenoob]

dirt? isn’t Texas just to the left of me? been 70* for months.......

[Troutman]

We're a little slow on the uptake.....been working 12 hour days on this new contract....hope to take time to do some serious gardening soon .... f**** a bunch of work

[smokenoob]

Ah, makes sense. You are paid to get the job done so as they say around here " git er done!"

[Mr. Bones]

When/if they recover from th 17°F shelllackin we got last night, I'll show ya what I got/had out front...
Mostly Spearmint, (fer tea, etc.) but even it was decidedly reactive to ~½ normal lows, here...
No maters, peppers, etc. in, so far, TTG&G...

[smokenoob]

17* ? I’m speachless

don’t touch yer tounge to the flagpole!

[Mr. Bones]

smokenoob It was 69° Thursday, but this AM was 17° again, so won't be startin no plants jus yet.
Winter doesn't wanna let go, so far this year.
I'd like to find me some cilantro starts, since I probly use it th most.
Haven't googled fer sources, jus yet.

[smokenoob]

You guys crack me up! Oh, nevermind!
Hop in the Wayback machine Sherman and show me some basil, rosemary, garlic, time (yes, I said time!), oregano (real oregano!).......!!!

[Troutman]

thyme in time .... be patient

[DWCowles]

I like to have a herb garden but I don’t have the time to take care of it.

[Troutman]

...or thyme?

[EdF]

I'm fortunate to have a wife with a "green thumb"! Because I don't have the patience.

[smokenoob]

I’m hoping I can just stick them in the dirt and put a dripper on em, we’ll see!

[Mr. Bones]

Hope it works out great!
Nuthin like fresh herbs when ya cook uptown!

[Dadof3Illinois]

We're 3-4 weeks from putting anything in the ground. The last few years I've planted them throughout my landscaping and have had some great results. For the most part they have required very little tending. The basil, sage and thyme grow like crazy. Smells crazy good in the summer.

[smokenoob]

I forgot how different the climate can be in just 1000 miles this time of year. Spring is on the way!

[Pirate Scott]

Peppers in the works, So far just Basil for herbs. I will be adding more soon.

[Skip]

I will add to this post possibly as soon as late May. Southern MN is still unseasonably snowy and cold for April. We are trying to make the best of it right now by concentrating our time on how to keep the deer out of the gardens this year. Hunters are welcome in my backyard!!!

[N227GB]

I've been using Litehthouse brand freeze dried herbs for a long time, but my favorite grocery store stopped carrying them. Online prices are about double with shipping. Their salad blend makes an excellent board sauce.

Might have to start a little garden. Any favorite retailers I should look at?

[fzxdoc]

Good to know, @N277GB . I'll look at the salad blend next time I shop.

I will get yelled at if I show you mine
