Well the Tasteful Garden offers a convenient option for beginner gardeners, growers that are short on time for seed starting, and for gardeners who don’t want to start their own vegetable transplants from seed but still want to choose from a good assortment of healthy and productive fruit, veggie and herb plants.
Rosemary is towards the top of my list of favorite herb plants. It has much to offer the home gardener regardless of the type or size of your garden. Rosemary will make itself right at home anywhere from the vegetable garden to the herb bed, and can even be incorporated within flower gardens and ornamental landscapes.
For all the local gardeners and those that are close enough to Central Pennsylvania to take a nice day trip, I just wanted to provide a little advance notice of the upcoming Landis Valley Museum Herb & Garden Faire that will be held near Lancaster, PA next week.
There’s another gardening show on tap this weekend in the Central Pennsylvania area. This time it’s the 9th Annual PA Herb Festival. The fest begins on Friday and is being held at the York Expo Center. The thing that I like best about the gardening shows that are scheduled in late spring is that you can purchase plants, herbs, and seeds and usually the weather has settled enough to begin planting them right out into the garden.
Bay Laurel, also known as Sweet Bay is a culinary herb plant that makes a great addition to the kitchen garden and can easily be grown on a patio or deck. Bay plants are very attractive with their waxy-looking olive green leaves, branches that can be trained to suit your taste, and flavorful leaves that will serve a valuable function as a versatile kitchen spice.
For those of you in the Central Pennsylvania area, here’s a reminder of the upcoming Landis Valley Museum’s 2006 Herb & Garden Faire which will take place this weekend. This popular annual Herb & Garden Faire will be held on Friday and Saturday, May 12th and 13th from 9am to 5pm on both days.
Gardening is a wonderful gift that I’ve developed the hard way… through trial and error! I hope to share the incredible lessons learned and make things a lot easier for you out in the organic vegetable garden.
