Preparing the Ground/Planting
It is important in the planning of a growing area for Herbs that you take into consideration certain factors:
- What is the purpose for growing this plant?
- What type of environment does this plant need?
- Is this plant happiest in sun or shade; wet, dark soil or sandy loam?
- What types of planting areas do I have; what kind of soil, how much sun and shade; what is the air-flow like in this area?
- What must I do to provide the greatest potential for this plant?
- Are there any companion plants for this plant?
Before deciding which Herbs you are going to plant, you will want to decide what they are to be grown for. Most of the more common Herbs can be grown from seed; it is generally best to start the seeds indoors in small containers. This will give you the opportunity to better control the growing conditions and insure that you have strong, healthy plants in your herb garden.
