After the success that I had last year planting basil and thyme, I decided to expand my herbage this year.

Hanging Garden

The herbs that I’m growing are sweet basil (albahaca dulce), thyme (thymus vulgaris), tarragon (atremisa dracunculus), sage (salvia officinalis), rosemary, Italian flat-leaf parsley and common chives (allium schoenoprasum). I bought small starter plants for all of them (one plant each) except for the parsley and chives which I’m growing from seeds. The plants are in hanging baskets so I can hang them up at night away from the squirrels.

I’m also growing a single Roma tomato plant. I may also grow a hot pepper plant or two but for now the tomato plant is my only non-herb flora.
