Now that I no longer live in a townhouse since we left Sydney, I have been keen to start a herb garden.
I’ve tried the herbs in pots thing. In the past giving me something to grow in a pot was the kiss of death for the poor plant.
As we are renting in the short term, I thought a modular raised garden bed might be the best option.
I bought a purpose built raised garden.
Modular pieces are assembled using wing nuts.
Modular raised garden bed is assembled. I have placed it next to the rainwater rank so it can be easily watered .
Lemongrass, Coriander, Basil, Mint, Rocket, Rosemary and Parsley (which turned out to be Celery!)
My herb garden is now complete!
I chose mint, basil, coriander and lemongrass as I love to cook Thai food and these herbs are used in Thai cooking. Also Rosemary for my favourite roast lamb and other lamb dishes. I love the peppery taste of rocket in salads and pasta dishes.
I am looking forward to being able to provide my herbs for my cooking picked fresh from my garden.
Looks really interesting and it seems you really know what youre doing. I have an apartment also so I am growing an avacado plant in the Kitchen.
Wow! Hope the avocado plant grows well! I don’t think I have ever seen avocados growing.
Thanks, Hope the same for your herbs.
