As some of you know, last year I had tried to do an herb garden and quite literally failed. So I have made a choice. Instead of doing a bunch of herbs like last time, I am only choosing four (or five) to do. I will probably do tea-based herbs mainly. I am going to do my winter sowing, and I start February. I can start later because we have a longer winter here in SD.
I am not going to stress, just do the best I can and appreciate whatever growth comes. I am not going to be putting my herbs in the ground to grow, rather this time in pots. I may also do a couple flowers like foxglove and baby's breath, but that is yet to be determined. So for right now, I am going to start picking out my seeds and choosing pots. I already know the spot I am going to put them. I don't have to worry about that, thankfully.
You may be thinking, "four herbs isn't a lot" but I call it progress for me. If I can get these four herbs to grow healthy and lush this year, I will next year add another two herbs to grow. And little by little, I can get used to the routine of winter sowing and growing in pots. Ok, that is it for now. Once I pick my seeds, I'll let you all know and…please just wish me luck and blessings. After all, I am newer to gardening.
