New plants for the little herb garden

We have been shopping for new plants for the little herb garden. Here is a little preview of what we will be planting.

Heatwave has struck the herb garden

We have had some very hot weather lately and the little herb garden looks pretty sad. I will be looking for some new plants that I can refresh the herb garden with. I will definitely grow more basil as I love it.

A forest of Thyme

As the thyme has not been growing wonderfully in the little herb garden we have potted up large thyme plant that can easily be moved outdoors. The above picture is a close up. Last night I gave it a trim as I made lasagna and needed some for the bolognese sauce. The recipe I used was from Stephanie Alexander Cook’s companion. It turned out really well. We are eating it again tonight as I made so much.

I have included a link for a Stephanie Alexander lasagna recipe too.
