Herbs in the Herb Garden

Herbs in the Herb Garden

  by Herb & Hedgerow

I have a small herb garden here down in Dorset. It’s slightly neglected at the moment given that last year I was under siege by an army of  Spanish slugs and this year I have my hands full with the kids, but I thought I’d share some pictures of some of the lovely herbs and other plants that grow here.

    I don’t have a lot of herbs; only one, rosemary, but I can never get it to bloom. What’s your secret? Sally

      Hi Sally, thanks for your comment! Rosemary likes well-draining soil as it doesn’t like getting its feet wet. It also likes the sunshine (not that we get much of that here, mind…). I always like to think of those beautiful Mediterranean herbs you see on holiday in countries like Greece that are so wonderfully pungent. They grow in very dry, bare conditions and thrive that way. Hope you get yours to flower. :)

    Interesting! I want to have those herbs in my garden too! It’s good for both the health and the skin.
