What Resources Are Available to You?

Take an honest look at what resources you have for your herb garden layout.  If you already have a greenhouse, you have a great place for seedlings or herbs that need a more Mediterranean climate in order to grow, like basil.  If you don’t have a greenhouse or a large garden plot, away from car exhaust and tons of shade, then don’t fret.  Just use a simple steel rack and flowerpots in your kitchen or front porch as your portable herb garden layout.  An herb garden doesn’t have to be all in one patch of ground in order to be a useful, satisfying herb garden.

What Herbs To Grow?

As they say don’t run before you can walk. Why not start of with a few hardy herbs such as thyme, parsley, chives and dill until you get the hang of it. Your herb garden layout will vary from season to season as your experience grows and understanding of what plants need to flourish. You will soon start to reap your harvest of fresh organic herbs and your cooking and life will be richer for it.
