Herb Planting

Despite today's cooler day here in Western New York, I was planting a few herb plants in a couple of containers on my back deck. I planted some of my favorites; chives, sage, curly parsley, dill weed, mint, lemon balm, marjoram, and thyme. Herbs are generally easier than othe rplants to grow, since they need less attention.

I plant them in containers, because I like to take them inside during the colder weather for Winter use in my home. I usually place them in my attic. They do nicely up there. When I need some herbs for cooking I just take a walk up in my attice and snip a few.

Fresh herbs are the best to add some flavor to a mid Winter dish. They are also great for mid Summer grilling and cook outs.
