Edging Rose Beds with Edible Herbs
Comments (10)I have Rosemary, Lemon Balm, Spanish Lavender and Bronze Fennel. The Rosemary & Lavender are planted in pure sand for drainage since we have rather wet, humid summers. The Fennel has had several caterpillars on it. I was so impressed with the Rosemary the other day when I was watering with the hose. That delicious fragrance spread all over the yard. I'm going to have to get more of these next year, especially since their size seems to be more reasonable compared to perennials and some annuals that get huge here. Haven't seen those flowers yet on the Rosemary. Amazing! Sherry...See Morerosemary concern + whose got herbs?
Comments (4)My favorite mint, bought as "Vietnamese" from Richters seems to have overwintered, seed-grown beebalm looks to be doing very well where it was planted last Fall. Alpine strawberries are blooming away. Thyme doesn't count, I just planted it, along with some more sage. My lemon grass (what's left after being cat-attacked) will go out soon. Chives are popping up too. All the other herb-essentials have yet to be started from seed (or bought), I'm a little behind. Borage, though I'm waiting on because it got frost-bit last year. I think my lemon gem marigolds have reseeded themselves again this too! I'll probably be replacing my rosemary this year too, it made it through the winter but might not transplant well. I decided to move my pomegranate to the warm spot where the rosemary was....See MoreIncredible Edible - June Herbs and Edible Flowers Swap
Comments (46)Becky, I know horehound was used to make cough drops. I used to have a recipe but lost it. I bet you could Google it. I remember it was basically a hard candy that used horehound tea as the liquid. It might also work to just drink the tea. I'm having trouble getting thyme to grow from seed too. The sprouts are sooooo tiny, and then something always seems to happen to them....See MorePhotos of edible landscapes?
Comments (5)In this mix of flowers and craziness there are small fruit trees, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, peppers, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, beans, potatoes, watermelons, and a full assortment of tea herbs(I think in the range of 30 different things I use in tea). At this point, I am clipping calendula blossoms and chamomile each day, I'm eating lots of fresh vegetables, and regularly drying culinary and tea herbs for later use. In other parts of the yard I grow more herbs, and have a variety of other tree and bush fruits growing, but all of it is fairly new since we've only been at this location a couple of years. I've focused about all of my effort on building good soil, and this year it is already paying off....See Morefloraluk2
