Growing my own Herbal Teas...

Something I have wanted to try for years now is how to grow my own herbal teas. I have a very small container garden tea patch on the go!

I picked up Lavender, Mints, Catnip and Chamomile from a trusted garden center and have them in a sunny spot along my fence.

 I am thrilled to have found a Chocolate Mint plant as well!

I have found a few websites that you might find interesting if you are thinking about growing and making your own herbal teas. Please see below.

Are you gardening already or are you still covered with snow?

Container Growing Challenge and A Cup of Tea...

"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow."- Audrey Hepburn
I will admit to being a very novice gardener. I am starting some container plants of vegetables and fruit as well as cat nip for my cat (and to add to my own tea if I can get it to grow).

 Motivated by the current pandemic situation partly, and serious curiosity and I am setting out to see just how green my thumb actually is...

I think I make gardening look good! LOL well lets see how this goes....I am guessing I should likely label the seedlings right?
Here goes everything, stay tuned and send me your tips for growing from seeds and in containers and in shade and in a rain forest....heck you might just need to send me salad dressing before you know it!
Thanks for stopping by for a cup of tea and a look at my container gardening debut.
