I take a large pot in the spring time & plant chocolate mint, lemon balm,peppermint,chamomile ,rosemary & thyme I have it sitting on my porch & every time I would walk by I would take my hand & starting at the base of the plant bring my hand right up through the plants & smell my hands. Well I bring the pot in during the winter & do the same thing the aroma smells so sweet. I pull out the seed & plant books anxiously waiting to plant in the warm months ahead.
During the spring and summer months you can save a lot of money on salads by growing your own lettuce! No need to feel intimidated by the project because you can buy starter lettuce beds from a nursery (usually only a few dollars) and plant them at home in your garden or a large planter. I live in an apartment with a small patio and I have plenty of room for my greens! If you harvest carefully they'll keep you in salads for months!
