Hi Kim I hear the train I can't wait to go lavender and what's your favorite herb to growš
this was my first year growing herbs and i'm loving it, lemon balm is my fav
I have all these herbs in my garden and my oregano and parsley have self seeded in numerous parts of the yard. Mason bees, wasps/Hornets, bumblebees and honey bees all love these herbal flowers. With the exception of basil and fennel, they are part of the mint family. My mint is an heirloom chocolate mint and definitely has a mild chocolate flavor and wonderful mint flavor.
Thank you, Kim, I'll grab some herb seeds. I've got some mint, lavender, and a sage plant already, but it's addictive. lol I love lavender, sage, fennel, and mint. Those are my faves, but they all smell good. I used to live in Simi Valley, so I miss the area sometimes. How are you doing with the smoke from the Mountain fire?š„š I am familiar with the geography there, and I heard it made it to Moorpark.š¢ I empathize with other Californians affected by winds and smoke. I've not lost my house, though, so that's really a bummer. I used to work with my now ex-husband on aeration and dethatching machines on people's lawns in both Simi Valley and Moorpark. In Sacramento, he expanded to mowing (retired). This was back in the late 80s/early 90s. We'd make a few hundred bucks and go camp in our van at Point Magu, a lifetime ago. Take careš
I've always wanted to grow herbs. Terrific tutorial!
Chives, Yarrow, Catnip, and Lavender grown from seed are a no-go in my garden. Even Catnip and goji berry transplants die. I don't know if it is the soil type, soil ph, or they simply don't like Alabama weather. Probably the later. However, Spearmint, peppermint, comfrey, rosemary, chickory, basil, bunching onions, parsley, thyme, cilantro, oregano, and dill do very well. Needless to say, I don't need to buy a lot of spices. Basil with a touch of lemon juice makes a good drink on a hot summer day, as does spearmint and peppermint.
I've finished processing tomatoes and have eight pints of salsa, and twenty-seven pints of tomato sauce. Next on my canning list is strawberry kiwi jelly and pinapple preserves. It is also harvest time for Swiss Chard, Komatsuna, Tatsoi, Yellow Heart Winter Choy, and Pak Choi. I'll probably plant a late planting of Malaga Radish, and maybe some more Pak Choi? It never ends in my garden.

Since Iām in Columbus Ohio, winter hasnāt really set in yet ā but I did take cuttings of rosemary, 3 mint varieties and basil for winter growing inside.
But I do have a question about lavender: I didnāt think it was an edible herb. So the seed variety you sell is edible I presume(?).
And Iām thinking of having a small pot of most of the herbs this winter inside. Just hope I donāt get any fungus gnats. š
Love your container of herb starts there! I should do all of mine at once and save on the number of jars on the kitchen counter!!
Iām so happy to know thereās still so much we can plant in November. Awesome video thank you for the information. I took Garden and California zone 9B. šššš§”ā¤ļøš Liz
Those flowers around you are looking bee-yoo-tee-ful and your yellow shirt gives a nice pop of colour amongst them. š¤
Well hopefully I didnāt trim my sage back to far. I thought it actually died.
