How To Grow Herbs At Home
Grow Fresh Garden Herbs
Fresh Herbs in My Patch
My guide and tips detailed below are being “Crash Tested” by a fellow blogger Crash Test Mummy. Laney is working on a “Backyard Blitz at Crash Palace”. One of the blitz activities is the planting of a herb garden in some large pots. She is following my tips below as a guide.
Here is my guide to growing fresh luscious herbs at home:
Purchase herbs according to the type of cooking that you do
Planting Guide:
Protect Coriander
Handy Tips:
If a plant goes to seed, leave it for a couple of weeks (if you have the space) and shake the seeds free prior to removing it. You should get some new plants next season.
If you have limited space or want to test how you go growing herbs – my “Must Have” herbs to plant are: Basil, Thyme, Rosemary and Parsley.

Background Information
In my Herb Patch I have planted: Thyme (2 varieties), rosemary, parsley (2 varieties), lemongrass, sage, tarragon, chilli, coriander, basil (2 varieties, 3 plants), chives, and oregano, and some little pretty flowers hidden at the back of the patch. I also have a couple of pots with mint and vietnamese mint and a few more basil plants in my vegie patch near the tomatoes.This guide is based on the steps I completed when I set up my own herb patch.
The guide is based on what I have planted in the lead up to Summer in Melbourne Australia. There may be different care requirements in different weather zones.

I would love to hear what herbs you are growing in your garden.

I can’t wait until my herbs are flourishing like yours! I’ts 6.30 in the morning and I can’t wait to get outside and see them 
. Thanks for the great tips Kyrstie. I’m looking forward to when I can start harvesting some of the herbs I put in as small seedlings. Hope this great weather lasts!
