Herb and Veggies Garden

hvnly34 — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 12:35:24 -0700

I live in a city where I have to drive nearly a half an hour to get quality produce. Yesterday I wanted mojitos very badly and I went to 4 grocery stores before I found some mint.
Consequently, I am very interested in starting an herb garden for sure, but perhaps a veggie garden as well. I live in Michigan, so I am thinking that if I could do an herb garden that could survive indoors during the winter that would be fabulous. Any ideas?

BP Seeds

Lately, BP gas stations have had the cutest commercials. Well, over the weekend my husband gave me a present from BP. They have free packets of sunflower seeds! There is a cute picture of a little girl on the front, too.

Lil' Flower Beds

I have three flower beds. One along the side of our house up to our front door and, two around our back patio. Mostly, I have heirloom plants. They have been given to me by neighbors, co-workers, etc... I have a yucca from my Grandma's yard. (I'm hoping it lived through a transplant and the hot weather we've been having.) My mom is going to give me some tiger lilies that she has. I absolutely LOVE tiger lilies.
I have the most of lilies, irises, and hostas. I have peonies (they didn't bloom this year, hum?), tansley, spiderwort, painted daisies, black-eyed susan, regular daisies, lamb's ear, columbine, wild wondering jew, mums, and three rose bushes. Most of what I have picked because I liked. I've been luck that they all compliment each other seasonally.
I want to start a window box with herbs.
Give me any tips OR ask me any questions.
