Ok, officially started my herb garden today after buying 3 potted herbs at the market. Today's purchases:
Chocolate Mint: a mint plant I plan on using for teas and maybe stuffed peppers
Spearmint: great in water during the summer to cool off, for colds and allergies, and for making tea.
Chamomile: Aromatherapy scent as well as a good cough suppresant if you are looking for a calming tea.
I still want to expand to include other medicinal herbs and delicious herbs (lemongrass!) as well as some commonly used kitchen herbs. Definitely need some cilantro!
Any ideas out there on good additions to my tiny upstart?
I'm a twenty something striving to become the person I want to be "when I grow up". Yes, I may be a wife and mother, but my adventure is just beginning. My motto: "Live Stronger. Live Greener. Live Simpler. Love."
I hear Mint is basically a weed, so make sure it's separate from other things or else it'll take over your garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I'm thinking about planting my tea herbs in big tea cups...cuz it's funny.
ReplyDeleteI like the tea cup idea! And mint spreads really easily! However it is great to keep bugs away!
