Re: French healing tea now container gardening

[Guest guest]

My herbs by my door are in containers. I refuse to fight the bermuda grass for a parsley plant. A neighbor down the street has a big container garden. I have wooden boxes that wine from France comes in and buckets from grocery stores that have bakeries in them - all free.

Lavender can be funny. My next door neighbor can kill any lavender plant she buys, but mine flourish with benign neglect. Her weeping willows are growing, mine are not. Ask at a nursery about lavender. It does not like a lot of water. Most common death is by drowning.

Gayla,

I have a fog of my own most times

I have thought about container gardening and just never got to it. Thankyou for reminding me. I am going to start early and do what I can this year. Well as early as I can find starter plants anyway. I never was any good growing things from seeds. I would love to try and grow Lavender also but never had any success with that one at all. Now that I found this list, I probably could have used the feverfew I HAD after trying to get it to grow for so long

I have a few 5 gallon old paint buckets so maybe they would be good for tomatoes or something?

Thanks

Tone
