Tuesday, August 14, 2007 We grew five pots of herbs this year. Basil, peppermint, sage (thanks to Aprille who gave me the baby plant), rosemary and lavender. My friend Sarah had a Pampered Chef party and I bought this Herb Keeper. Perfect for keeping snippings of my herb crop in! Labels: container, garden posted on 8/14/2007 :: link ............................................................................................ 4 Comments: We grew mint. In our flower beds. It sorta took over. It even survived through the winter. Now we have to weed it back like 2x/week lest it take over the entire bed. By  Jesser, at 16/8/07 10:27 AM I've been trying to grow herbs all summer, but they keep dying! I put them outside and they get eaten by bugs/rabbits, or if I keep them inside, they wilt like crazy! Any tips? By  marissa, at 16/8/07 1:31 PM I love to grow mint, but put it in a pot where it cannot overtake the garden. It usually overwinters fine unless a giant ice chunk falls from your roof, smashes the pot to smithereens and exposes your poor mint roots to the elements [ do I sound bitter?] Reading a couple previous posts I was so glad to see Ginger. We visit her often...and yes...she gets a granola bar from us as well !!! By the way, I was the rather rude girl who poked you with a water bottle to say hello in passing at the Park Ave Fest...sorry, but the kids were not standing still and I had no time to stop and properly say hello. ...So Hello...my name is Julie...and I enjoy your blog! By  julie, at 16/8/07 2:51 PM marissa - the biggest tip I have for growing herbs outside is lots of water... as for the critters eating them... tie a pug next to the plant? Hah hah... actually I have read that marigolds keep a lot of animals away. Maybe try planting them around your herbs. julie - I am glad to hear Ginger is getting her treats now and then! I was so glad you said something at Park Ave! I love meeting readers. I checked out your blog and am really interested. I think I am a junker from way back!
