Grow Herbs in the Fall

Grow herbs organically

Remember last season when I taught you how to plant an Easy Herbal Cocktail Garden Living Wall? Fall is the perfect time to replant herbs in your living walls for the second wave of delicious herbal scents, herbal cocktails, and all-around herb love. If you live in the Southern states this is especially true because the cooler season enables your perennial herbs to get refreshed and your new plantings to be at their best. If you live in the northern states, search local independent garden centers for herbal plant starts or order them online. Southern folk has enough time left in the season to start from seed.

Most herbs prefer rich, well-drained soil. Water at the base of the herb plants to prevent disease. Harvest 1/3 of the plant at a time to keep it continually producing. Grow herbs organically with the least amount of chemicals added so that you can enjoy a healthier treat with your family. Below are some handy herb lists to help you choose which plants might grow best in your garden.
