An Herb Garden

Max helped me and Jimmy plant our herb garden. You can see our container garden here in front of Max with our loads of soil and mulch to the left. Jimmy also used the opportunity to fill all of Max and Marley's holes and plant some sod.



Since we planted our container garden last September, after taking the Urban Harvest classes on organic gardening, we have loved having our home grown fresh herbs to use in cooking.




Since we have been successful, we decided to build a raised bed and transplanted the containers into the bed and planted some new herbs. We added thyme and sage and added lots more basil and cilantro. Basil is the hardest one to grown, although we did transplant a nice looking lemon basil we have had since the beginning.

We also branched out into chili peppers (serranos and jalapenos) and am taking a stab at tomatoes. We continue to use organic methods using a liquid nutrient rich solution of neem, orange oil, molasses, garlic oil and seaweed. We will see how it goes!
