I received this herb garden as a birthday gift from a friend. Isn’t it beautiful? I am SO excited! Now I’ll have fresh basil, thyme, and marjoram to use all summer. That’s Walter the Owl in the background.
My friend laughed a little when I exclaimed “Did you make this?” I think she meant that it was so easy, anyone could do it. But not me! I’m the opposite of a green thumb- what would that be called? On the color wheel, if yellow and blue make green, I think red is opposite of green. So call me a red thumb.
Anyway, I’m not a gardener but I was thinking about trying to at least grow a few herbs this year. It’s so expensive to buy them, and I have actually had some success with basil plants in the past.
So I’m going to take good care of my beautiful garden in that gorgeous blue bowl. Do you have any tips for me, regarding care and feeding? It’s going to be getting almost full sun, and my friend said that would be okay. Also, is there any trick to “harvesting”? As far as how often, where on the plant, and should I pinch with fingers or cut with a scissors?
Also, I use thyme and basil all the time, but do you know any good recipes that use marjoram? Please share your tips and advice in the comments section.
