They bother my eyes and I can’t stop winking. Is there *wink* another type of light I should use instead?

George asks…
Starting a potted herb garden, what herbs go together and should I bring the basil inside?
I have just started a little herb garden in my backyard. So far I have one raised planter with Oregano, Rosemary & Lavander. I have it in direct sunlight outside. I also hav a smaller plant pot with two kinds of Basil and I was thinking of adding Parsley to it today, it wasn’t doing good next to the Oregano planter so I moved it to the shaded window ledge. Should I bring it inside and can I put the Parsley in with the Basil?
Thanks in advance
Green Thumb answers:
You can put parsley in with basil, but both plants will get pretty big once they take off. Basil and parsley both love sun – not shade. Basil really likes water. It will wilt if not kept moist. Parsley likes water too, but not quite as much as basil. I personally like to keep my basil in a separate pot as it is the most sensitive of my herbs. I wouldn’t take the basil in until there is a threat of frost.
Susan asks…
can anyone give me a good list of herbs to start a herb garden with?
Green Thumb answers:
It all depends on your zone. Of course what flavors you like. Most perennials don’t do well any where except Florida and California. You will do best to grow annuals. I like parsley,basil,chives(does well any where),oregano,cilantro,thyme and mint. Mint has to be boardered well to keep them from taking over the yard. They send runners under ground.

Laura asks…
What’s the best season to start an herb garden in warm climate?
The weather is sunny but good.
Green Thumb answers:
Any time works so long as you have a good root system before planting. I don`t like herb gardens. They are against Nature`s system where every herb occurs by itself in an area where it protects other plants. Plant your herbs all over your garden, not beside each other.
Sandy asks…
I want to grow a herb and veggie garden, but dont know how to go about it. Western Australia?
I’ve just moved into a house that has a herb garden started, rosemary, sage, mint already in and growing well, but i want to add pasley, basil, chives, lettuce and cherry tomartos. Im not sure if i have enough room in my garden, how much room will i need to grow the lettuces, toms etc…
does anybody know a good website i can check out, ie gardening for dummys lol
Green Thumb answers:
Watch the mint – it will take over – mint is best grown in pots as underground root system means it will come up everywhere! Trial and error is the best – you can be fairly brutal with herbs in chopping back if they get too big (and dry the cuttings for later) so you should be able to make enough space. If not, grow the cherry tomatoes in pots – I did last year for the first time and had the best crop ever – you must keep them moist and well watered though and feed weekly as they will extract the nutrients from the soil in the pot.
Good luck!
