growing herbs

starting herbs from stem cuttings

I love rosemary and lavender…truly love them! But they are so very frustrating to start from seed. Poor germination and snail slow growth often makes these feel like more work to grow than they’re worth. But then I tried growing them from stem cuttings…it changed my garden life and I’ve never looked back!

herbs make the perfect companion plants

Imagine me and you…SOW happy together! As an organic gardener, you need to arm yourself with whatever tools are available in the battle against garden foes like the dreaded cabbage worm, or the beastly borers, or those huge, hulking hornworms. Interplanting with plants that not only get-along, but actually boost each other, definitely helps in the fight.
