I have planted most of my herbs. When I got them gathered up, I realized I forgot spearmint during my buying spree. My husband said he’d pick some up while he’s in town and I should just stay here. I guess he’s afraid of what else I may come home with. I may not go today but there is always tomorrow lol. I think he forgot that my daughter and I have made plans to go plant shopping in the next week or two.
I did as @"Chiefsmom"#67 suggested but I used paper feed sacks with mulch around my herbs. I cut the tops off of some old flower pots to make sort of a barrier around the peppermint to hopefully keep it contained some, as my growing area isn’t that big. I don’t know if it’ll work but it can be another experiment.
Also I never knew what part of the echinacea to use so I’ve learned something.
Okay @"Ninurta"#2 you have me a little worried about the catnip now. I didn’t think about it drawing in big cats, but it does make sense.
This is such a good thread. It’s really interesting to read how gardening is done in different growing zones and there is already so much good info and tips.
