THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OAK HILL GARDEN CENTER
Hello Gardeners,
Do you have some extra space for gardening in your yard? Why not design and plant a fresh and simple herb garden? An ideal location would be a few steps from your kitchen, but any site receiving at least six hours of sunshine is good. Also, if you have space by your kitchen window, try to plant a few herbs in small containers for an indoor garden.
Prepare the soil for planting by adding fertilizer and organic matter. Space the herbs at least eighteen inches apart to give them room to spread and grow. These new transplants will need plenty of water; an inch a week is an ideal amount.
You may begin harvesting fresh herbs as soon as plants are mature. Never remove more than a third of the plant at a time, as it will take longer for your herbs to recover and continue growing. Planting an herb garden is an easy, fun project for the whole family, and it will provide you with many fresh, flavorful additions to summer recipes.
Happy Gardening,
Barb
