Last week when I did my garden checklist I noted that the harsh winter and killed many of my herbs and that I needed to replace many. I was fortunate to have a friend with a nursery in town as she provided me with a discount. Lucky me I was able to buy 11 herbs in three-inch pots for $3.00 each.
I found some new herbs for my garden and this year I will be growing
Mojito mint, I grow many varieties of mint and think it is a delicious plant for aromatics and for culinary uses. In fact last year I made an invigorating soap from peppermint leaves. So I am excited to be growing the new Motito mint.
Another new herb this year is Kew Red Lavender for growing in full sun. This aromatic herb looks exciting as it is covered with vibrant pink flowers with gray-green spikes. I like that the lavender is drought-tolerant because my summers do get dreadfully hot. I am thinking that this lavender herb would make a nice bath soap and also a wonderful potpourri.
I am so happy that winter is finally over and that gardening season has begun.
