Here are some pics of my garden herbs....all grown in pots out in our courtyard.
Dane starts seeds in little pots with a 'plastic bag greenhouse' until they sprout. Then he'll remove the plastic and when they are established plants he will transplant into a larger pot.
This 'raised bed' container was purchased to grow tomatoes....but didn't work out so well because tomatoes just do not do well in this heat and so much sunshine. So now we call it our plant 'nursery' and it's used as a starter for cuttings he wants to propagate.
This window box pot of Italian Parsley was planted over 2 years ago and is still producing. You can see how old it is by the amount of moss growing at the edges. It should be emptied and started again but that seems like a lot of work....LOL
My chives are in a giant pot all by themselves. I brought these from Ohio as the original clump came from my Grandma's garden.
My thyme plant ~ new plant purchased this spring to replace the 3 year old plant because the plastic pot crumbled from the heat and sun.
Curly Parsley, Rosemary, French Tarragon....
and, finally, Basil......
