Herb Garden-June 2009

Technically, we have two herb gardens; culinary and medicinal- but I tend to think of them as a whole. The Culinary bed is by far more established and utilized, while the Medicinal side is experimental and growing in random patches. Our ultimate goal is to have two successful beds which fill their spaces to a maximum with an array of colourful and useful herbs. One of the many things we strive for in our garden is abundance and utility.
