Growing Herbs

Today, I will finally get my herbs out of there store containers and into their planters.  It has been so hot here that I kept them inside for the duration of the heat wave.  Today, though, they will be enjoying their expanded environment and I expect they will be growing like mad in a few days!  

I have rosemary and oregano as perennial herbs.  They do well outside all winter, but winters are milder here than in many locations.  My annual herbs this year are basil, thyme, sage, parsley, chives.  Herbs add so much flavor to food and they are easy to grow.  They actually like being neglected a bit which is wonderful for me since I am notorious for forgetting to water plants!  That is why I use self-watering containers for my garden vegetables!
