Icefever Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 We have an old butlers sink with our herbs in, but this year we are going to plant a strawberry pot that we don't use. I have 4 lemongrasses on the go, if they all take,, I 'll bring one for you at WS19. Ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Watch out for that mint mate it will take over the whole container 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Yes, I have put it inside a pot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secla Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I was going to say you’ll have a container full of mint soon 😂 i have a mini veg garden in our back garden. Want an allotment but lack of availability in our area currently have potatoes/beans/garlic/onions broccoli and mixed salad leaves all growing in various pots 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor72 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Get some wild garlic But put in a separate pot as well . It’s great in stews braising etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The mint is probably going to have to be in a separate pot. It looks great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlashster Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 That looks great! I am growing only Bay and Rosemary at the moment. I usually have some Basil and Thyme through the summer but haven't planted any up this year. Its great picking your own herbs. They always seem more fragrant than shop bought even when 'fresh'.

Simon Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 This is my herb garden. I would like to get some wild garlic at some point, I think the smell would be amazing. The basil has been attacked by snails but is still holding out. My mint and marjoram had to be put in separate pots as they started growing insane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I've just started lemongrass off, bought 2 packs (4 pieces) from the supermarket last week. Throw them into a glass of water pop on the kitchen window, change the water every 2nr/3rd day, so far I have 2 that have good strong roots starting, will pot them up over this weekend.

sotv Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Don't grow my own herbs, help myself to next doors, with their blessing😁 I have used dry lemon grass in a very aromatic and flavourful Asian Pork Butt recipe I found. Tastes lovely with the Star Anise and other ingredients 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Mine is rosemary thyme majoram chiveas as they are all hardy. Grow basil on the kitchen window as not too much sun and near tap. Basil loves water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
