Container gardening is a great way to grow plants, vegetables and herbs without needing a lot of space. Herbs do especially well and can be grown right outside your kitchen door. In this video, you’ll learn how to use an old farmer’s market basket to make a great container garden. Fill it with your favorite herbs and your cooking will be full of flavor all summer long.
You can plant herbs in containers closer than you would in the ground since you may be harvesting them sooner due to the fact that you control how much sun, etc. they get. You’ll have to fertilize and water a bit more, though. The spacing is a personal thing - I use the French Intensive Method in my in-ground herb garden. Everything’s close together so it chokes out weeds.
It is getting warm enough here in Colorado to start getting gardens going. Usually, not till after Mothers Day to avoid frost damagae.
It is almost getting warm enough here in Colorado to start gardening. We usually plant after Mother’s Day to avoid a late frost. I like to use a raised garden as it is easier to get to and maintain.
We’ve had so much rain here in Ohio but I still managed to get a lot of my herbs that wintered over in the garage into the ground. Mother’s Day is the official day here.
