REFLECTION QUESTIONFood Plant an Herb GardenConsider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?
Grace Derksen 4/29/2020 10:21 AMWe already had an herb garden, but I cleared ours out. We had a few strawberry plants, and some sage and oregano which are perennial. When it gets a little warmer I will add basil and parsley. -
