Mix It Up

Have you ever wanted to grow your own herbs but didn't want to mess with a whole garden?  Herbs make a great addition to your container gardens - it gives it a great focal point and provides fresh herbs.

Mixing ornamentals and herbs can create an eye-catching arrangement with the flowers hiding the leggy stems of overgrown herbs and adding color to the arrangement. 

What herbs work the best for container gardening?  I think rosemary looks great in a pot with some low ornamentals in front of it.  Oregano works well in the front of a pot with its tiny leaves.  The foliage of dill adds great texture to a pot.  But the very best herbs to use would be the herbs you think you'd use the most in the kitchen!

  1. I love the look and taste of French thyme. Or try Mexican mint marrigold on the grill with fish.
