I’ve had an herb garden for about 19 years now. I grow rosemary, ginger, chives, patch of lemon balm, lavender, sage, different varieties of thymes and basils, dill, tarragon, German oregano, parsley, bay leaf, opium lettuce, and mint. In addition, I grow a few veggies, but I live in an apartment and only have a six by 10 garden so there’s not much more room. It is very rewarding, however to grow and learn the uses for each herb and also have the joy of not having to pay for fresh herbs and share my bounty with grateful family and neighbors! Thanks for the lovely video!

Ya totally need an outdoor cat. Definately don't feed them more than necessary because they'll eat on those mice. I really want one strictly for a house guard. I certainly do not want a litterbox, though. I'm thinking I'll try my hand at teaching a cat to communicate about needing to go out to relieve itself except for nights too cold for it. Then a temporary overnight litterbox.

Another plant in the mint family that is good to grow and have on hand is Catmint,(Catnip). Like Lemon balm it has powerful sedative properties to help you sleep. I used to live and work on a farm where in front of the barn there was a plot of Catnip that had been growing for many years. Every night before I went to bed I would go pick off a few leaves and make some tea. Before long I would start to feel as though I’d just taken a prescription sleeping pill. (In case any of you are wondering……… No, it will NOT make you run in circles and chase your tail!!😏

I have never grown lemon balm before and am looking forward to it. I also have a lime balm plant ordered, so exciting! I love herbs and flowers in the garden.

I’m doing the very same. I bought this house which came with a piece of land, with the idea of having a small forest garden, trees, fruit bushes and herbs. I then started annuals and it lost its way, as did I. I’ve just planted five new fruit trees and some more herbs and got it back on track. I’m concentrating on my original plan two years ago and have cut back the annuals and replaced with perennials. I’m trying to downsize the work as much as anything, annuals are so labour intensive. I’ve started making tinctures out of my herbs and always dry some for tea throughout the winter. I’ve just started a dandelion tincture as well. I’m about to turn my old chicken coop into a small polybox to over winter some chard and spinach but decided things like potatoes are overrated. I can buy a sack that lasts all winter for £5, or give myself grief and grow a few. Fruit and herbs will be my main crops, they mostly look after themselves. Good luck with your herbs.

I'm taking notes. Thanks for all the tips. I live in an apartment on faceing the west, so not to much sun, but as you said try.

I love these 5 herbs plus lavender. I dry them all and use in so many ways. For us and our critters. All so medicinal soon time to garden. Getting snow here today in Ontario Canada. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day and thanks for sharing your homestead. Watch you all the time

I have all you talked about except lemon balm. I did just purchase some bee balm the other day and I'm going to go back and get some lemon balm. I love herbs. I also have a five year old rosemary bush, and some lavender, but I have to say the oregano is my favorite. I pick a piece when I walk by and get the scent all over my hands so I can smell it. My mom thinks it's funny. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed the fun and informative facts.
