Love you pictures and love your herbs do you use them all in cooking I never know what herb to put in what...Here is a picture of my Courgettes with their recycled cloches...

[MrsC]

Hi Abby, I want some of those water container cloches, we have some at work but they always get sent back (nice pic.) I use 80% of my herbs in cooking, have loads more growing around the garden, that's the main bed of herbs outside the kitchen door. Which herbs do you grow?

[abby]

My son who is a HGV driver ,ask if he sees them for his old mum if you don't ask lol .I am only just starting with herbs and this year have got Mint (in pot on its own) Basil that I have on window sill and some Vietnamese Coriander. That I love the smell of but is very peppery and I don't know how to use it in any Ideas? . Sage and Rosemary...I have just had radiotherapy and was looking for something to take my mine of stuff ,and found gardening...Any Advise would be great...

[chuckles]

In my herb planter i have Mint, Parsley, Rosemary, Feverfew and Thyme.
The old hip bath is a family heirloom and my mum can remember the cattle drinking out of it when she was little.
I hate to see anything chucked out and its very nice looking anyway .

Might have to ask now lol. Sorry to hear about the radiotherapy, but glad to hear you've found gardening. I love growing herbs, they fascinate me. Sophie Grigson has a book called 'Herbs' some lovely recipes in there. Never grew Vietnamese Coriander. Whatabout Dill/Fennel, pretty easy to grow. Lemon Balm is nice too, can be made into a tea, from the mint family so can become invasive and self seeds, but I like it. I've a few types of mint, my favourite is chocolate!

Just come back from an afternoon in Bents wow the prices they charge but a lovely day out. Will give the Dill and fennel a go and the choc mint sounds just up my street. Chuckles did you have to drill holes in your lovely planter I suppose you had too. I watched that program with Kirstie Allsop's the other night and they did a planter for herbs but never mentioned you should put drain holes in it.

[chuckles]

Hi,
I didn't have to drill any holes due to there being a few in it already (rust due to age )

Just realised you're in Lancashire. Bents is nice (especially Christmas, wow what a display) very pricey though!!!!!!

This is my first year growing and this is what i have herbwise....

They was all trimmed last week giving 2 large freezer bags full of herbs!



I cant help myself everytime I pass them! The smell of the rosemary is dreamy...

[Mchanen]

Wow all these pics look great!

Those wall planters in the last pic look really cool mnmc2004- what a great idea for growing herbs in, especially if you haven't got much room and they looks so pretty too

I've only got herbs in my herb pot at the moment but have 5 packets (Lemon Basil, basil sweet genovese, Coriander, Chives and Oregano) ready to be sown once i'm back from holiday in a few weeks.

For now heres a pic of my herb pot which contains Coriander, Basil sweet genovese and Chives: -

[Redpepper]

Wooowee!
Check out everyone's luverly 'erbs!

[mnmc2004]

Thanks mchanen...they taste even better than they look!

The wall troughs are from Wilkinsons £1.99 each I think....

I like your pot, I fancy one of them for the kitchen with my most used herbs in.

[BFG]

They all look great! Love the wall ones

mnmc2004, that drainpipe looks ripe for a water butt to me.

[Mchanen]

When i get my own place i will be getting some of those wall troughs- makes a plain wall luck much nicer too

My other halfs mum got me that pot- i'm sure she said she got it for Lidl or Aldi!

I look out in there flyer for one...thanks

Oh I was in wilkinsons today, the wall troughs was £1.09 odd price but just over a quid is a bargain in my view.
