Tuesday’s Tip: Time to transplant herbs
October 20th, 2009
The weather is changing in many parts of the US.
Time to decide what to do with the herbs.

We like to have fresh herbs year round so I traditionally plant them in window boxes for the inside. A few tips before planing:
1. Make sure you get something that has a drip tray or pan to keep furniture safe.
2. Always add ample drainage such as rocks or broken pottery to the bottom before soil
3. Lightly transplant and only slightly disturb the roots before re-potting – a little is good.
4. Keep in a sunny window, but be sure to close drapes or shades at night when the temperature drops.
5. Keep an eye on watering and don’t over-water.
Having your own herbs indoors and on hand year round is a real treat! It brings the freshness of spring to your table and livens up those dull winter windows. Next spring, just transplant again and move outdoors!
EnJOY the journey!

Very informative. The article is very professionally written. I enjoy reading every day.
When planting herbs in a garden you can always add flowers to make the area look more appealing. Lay out all of these plants before you actually put them in the ground to get an idea of what your garden will look like prior to doing the harder work.
