We grow spicy herbs in the garden

If there is a small area on the site, freefrom trees, flowers and paths, diligent owners certainly want to plant a small vegetable garden with greens. That's just to prefer, if the place is small, but want to have on hand different fragrant and spicy herbs in the garden?

Exotic or familiar?

You can try to grow something veryinteresting and unusual. Why not? The abundance of herbs is great, and many of them are already well known to our gardeners, cooks and simply gourmets. So, wanting to plant plants with an exquisite and unusual taste and smell, one needs to focus on one thing: how much this culture will get accustomed to in the new conditions. And still the priority in the "kitchen garden" should remain with those favorite herbs, without which our diet is unthinkable - ordinary parsley, dill, coriander, cumin, horseradish, mint, oregano, thyme.

Of course, thinking about the consumer value of greenery,we must not forget about the aesthetic side. Ogorodniki craftsmen create real masterpieces of landscape design, having spicy herbs in the garden, taking into account the terms of vegetation, plant height, color combinations. In addition, the needs of each herb should be taken into account: some like moisture and partial shade (sorrel, parsley, lemon balm, mint), and others - dry and bright places (thyme, basil, tarragon, sage, marjoram, lavender, etc.). And one more thing to consider: many spicy herbs in the garden can in time take up too much space, and then they will be difficult to get rid of - for example, horseradish. The plant looks very impressive in single plants, and for food, and for pickles it is used with pleasure. But a couple of years will pass, and it will grow into a whole plantation. And other, equally favorite aromatic herbs - mint, melissa, oregano - can easily master new places, because they grow quietly in the wild, so they feel like they are in the garden.
