It's not too late!


Driving my daughter to soccer practice this week, I have been seeing a sign outside the local greenhouse. It says herbs, veggies and annuals half price! Now is the time to get those herbs you like to use and spend too much buying in the grocery store. I promise it is not as difficult as it seems. I have lots of herbs in my regular herb garden. However, I also keep a pot of my favorites on my patio. I only have to open the back door and snip what I need. In this pot I have cilantro, parsley, sage and basil. These are the herbs I use most frequently. They are no effort to grow at all. I have only watered them twice this summer and that was early in the season. Now they flourish when my flowers need constant attention. Remember, herbs are just weeds. They should grow when nothing else will. I have also had lots of success growing them with my flowers. They add the greenery you need but serve a greater purpose.

Make things simpler and save money by running to your greenhouse and getting herbs to season your life.
