whew
i found terra cotta 16" pots for under $10 a piece and planted the herbs
i think the soil i used is too rich
however i mixed some mulch for aeration and will have to watch and maybe repot with a less rich mix
i just got in after repotting a bunch of things, rearranging
container gardening is just as much work as rows
but i did like that i could sit in a chair when i got to the large pots
my back was hollering

just read an article in country woman magazine about growing herbs for brewing your own tea & i think i may give it a try!
it appears that me lemon balm has bit the dust! well, it lasted through 2 moves that uprooted it from the ground & 1 season in a pot ~ i think i had it a total of 4 years. it's a bit sad though! when ever it got really tall, i'd cut a bunch and put a vase of it in the kitchen and 1 in the bedroom ~ the scent was lovely! guess i have to add this to my herb list this year!
i purchased some fresh cherries to eat right away
and 3 herb plants in 6 inch pots
very healthy specimens
i got spearmint
cilantro
and oregano
tomorrow's my day off and i am going to put them in larger pots on the patio
