Guest Picks: Herb Gardens for Gardens and Small Kitchens
I’m not much of a gardener, and granted, I don’t have a lot of space in my little backyard to backyard anyhow. However, I do enjoy having fresh herbs in my beck and call. Thankfully, there are clever ways to easily accommodate a fresh herb garden in or close your small kitchen, even in case you don’t have a great deal of space with which to work. All you will need is a location where your plants will get a lot of sun. Here are a few of my favorites (a few analyzed, others not).
