Shaping the herbal garden
It would be rather a rare case if you are unable to make an arrangement of this little space. How should you shape your garden?
- To begin with plant those herbs which are essential and used in your daily diet. Culinary herbs will mostly cover this portion. Herbs like basil, chervil, chives, mint, thyme, sesame, savory, sage etc fall into this category. They are basically spices to garnish the cuisines you prepare.
- Next you must concentrate on core herbal vegetables. Cabbage, cucumber, beets and turnips are common in the vegetable herb lot.
- You can also arrange for dried herbs inside your house. The leaves of ornamental and aromatic herbs can be kept inside a packet and left to dry over the season. In winter months these can be made free and hanged along the window panes or by curtain side to spread the sweet fragrance all around. This is not just for refreshment but also have therapeutic effects.
- Plant a few medicinal herbs as well. Neem, Aloe Vera and Lavender are great options because they have a big role to play in your skin care cosmetics. If you have these herbs right at your home you can use them in the most natural way rather than in the synthetic forms.
Start you day in the herbal way. Plant more and more herbs even in the little space you get so that you remain safe under the natural shadow always
