Beautiful Herbs


The herbs in the garden are beautiful. They are great plants to have in a community garden; perennials, sun loving, heat resistant, with good ground cover(straw, compost, leaves, etc) regular water is not necessary. The cool wet summer has really boosted the herbs in our garden. We have had a great season for basil, rosemary, lavender, spearmint, chocolate mint, thyme, oregano, marjoram, and flat leaf parsley. In the next couple of weeks the perennial herbs will be split and annuals potted. We would love to keep pots of herbs in the greenhouses over the winter. Can't wait to plant the herbs and perennial plants in the new garden at Indianola Informal School at Crestview. Our garden will then grow from one to two locations!
