One great thing about having room to plant a garden is deciding what exactly you want to plant. One option that comes to mind is creating an herb garden. Having an herb garden is the perfect solution to those who love to use fresh herbs in their cooking. By planting an herb garden, you can ensure that you always have fresh herbs available. However, there are a few tips that can be used to ensure that you have the best herb garden possible.

The first tip is to make sure that you plan out your garden accordingly. This is because some herbs can be incredibly invasive; meaning that they will crowd other herbs and can end up taking over the entire herb garden. To help keep these plants from overtaking your herb garden, you need to plan ahead and plant them in submerged pots. These pots will keep the roots of the herbs contained, thus preventing them from spreading. Herbs that should be isolated include mint, lemon balm, catnip, hops, and tansy.

Another tip is to stagger the times that you plant the different herbs. By doing this, you can ensure to have fresh herbs for the majority of the year. Additionally, if you stagger the planting of the herbs and plant them in-between other flowers, you can ensure a green garden year round. For example, you can plant sage and chives near bulbs that bloom in the spring. This will allow the blooming herbs to cover the spring bulbs as they die.
