How to Plant an Herb Garden
When my husband and I were college sweethearts, we spent a lot of time in the summers in his parents’ back yard just talking. I loved that place. I felt like I was in a lovely botanical garden with the gorgeous flowers and trees, budding bushes, and quaint bird feeders. It was park-like and perfect! In addition, his mom grew a lovely herb garden. When I got married, I decided I wanted to learn to grow herbs too.
