You do not need a 'herb garden'
in order to grow herbs. Many are quite at home and look in place in shrub
borders or dotted about in perennial herbaceous borders. So many herbs add a
splash of colour to your garden such as the great silver swath of the curry
plant which add colour to any part of the garden, or of course some of the
gaudy flowers such as the Echinaceas.Container
gardening in patio pots and planters are also great places for herbs - and
of course - they are usually near the kitchen! There
is rarely a need to feed your herb plants. Most are herbs are happy growing
in any good gardening soil with virtually no added feed. Some herbs - as
with the showy perennial types benefit from an annual mulch of organic
material. Many herbs will grow quite quickly when
established, so make sure that you allow enough room for your herbs to grow
properly without being a nuisance to other plants.
The welsh Onion is a great "herb" for growing in almost any
situation. The flower heads show off for weeks on end, and it is a very
tolerant herb which you can grow in a pot - or in the garden.
