Growing Herbs In Sunlit Gardens For Flavor
Grow herbs in average garden soil with organic matter to improve texture. Choose a site with at least 6 hours of direct sun daily and avoid waterlogged ground. Use raised beds with compost for poor drainage and apply balanced fertilizers sparingly to leafy herbs.
Gray-leafed plants bring striking color to gardens
Well placed gray and silver foliage shrubs and perennials brighten landscapes. Leucophyllum frutescens or Texas barometer bush blooms after rain with violet flowers and tolerates cold to five degrees. Artemesia varieties prefer full sun and good drainage, with careful pruning and occasional division. Catmints add blooms and texture, while companions include Santolina thyme oregano and rosemary in herb beds.
