Thank you for these precious tips. As I’min the process of having my first elemental herb garden, every word is welcome!

Kisses from Nydia.

Thanks. Yeah, we got a late start this year on all of our gardening. This is the first year we actually tried to do it (though we’ve been talking about it for years).

I have too many critters around my house to try an herb garden at ground level so I was hoping the window box thing might work, even if I have to wait til next year . . .

My thoughts are along the lines that it is probably too late to expect much of a harvest to put away but still plenty of time to plant a few herbs to use in your cooking the rest of the summer so long as you start with seedlings as opposed to seed.

Most herbs fare very well in high sunlight so long as they are watered well and have adequate drainage.

Good luck and (of course) blessings to you and yours

Nice post. My wife just started a small garden of sunflowers, peppers, squash, and tomatoes. I would like to start my own herb garden, but I'm afraid it might be too late in the season. How do herbs do in high-sunlight outdoor window boxes? I'm specifically thinking: silver sage, thyme, sweet basil, cilantro, tarragon, and chives. brahnamin´s last blog post..Current Workout 25 June 2009
