Mix herbs
I grow parsley, basil, coriander, 2 types
of mint, rosemary and chive in this bucket, around 2 feet diameter. They
provide more than enough fresh herbs for my daily use.
Lettuce
In the supermarket, we use to buy a whole
head of lettuce. Actually, if you grow lettuce at home, you just remove enough
outside big leaves for a meal. This will allow the inside smaller leaves to have a
chance to grow big. By using them like this, I have been eating these 6 heads
of lettuce from May till now.
hi ms. cheng
ReplyDeletevery happy about seeing the pictures of your container gardens... I have been wondering the type of herbs you would have :)
I started (in one small pot) green onions, cilantro and basil, and in another some kind of peas (but mostly interested in getting pea vines out of this pot)
BTW, I just received from the library Holzer's book. Thanks for the recommendation.
Hi chapstick121,
ReplyDeleteThat's great, i am sure you will enjoy using your own produce.
BTW, in case you may not know, to help basil to grow well, you need to keep picking the top leaves regularly, so that the small side leaves (at the joints) could grow big and branch out, you will have a bushy plant with a lot of basil to use.
Happy reading
