Herb gardening is becoming more and more popular every day, and for a good reason. Herbs have practical value, serve a purpose, and with herb gardening you can actually use your plants. When most people think of herb gardening they automatically think of cooking, but herbs are also grown for their pleasant aroma and their beauty.

One important part of herb gardening is drying the herbs for use during the winter months, especially if you plan on cooking with them. First the tops of leafy herbs have to be cut, washed, and hung up for the water to evaporate. Then, tie stems together and hang up in a paper bag to dry. After two to three weeks they must be removed; crumble the leaves, dry them out in the oven, and store in a glass jar.

One of the most common herbs gown in herb gardening is basil. “Dark Opal” and regular green basil are beautiful additions to any garden and often used as decoration. Dark Opal has light pink flowers and dark red leaves. Basil isn’t just used for its looks; it is used for extra flavor in tomato juices and pastes.

Chives are very petite looking and resemble a blade of grass. They are much stronger than they look, however, and will grow well through a drought and a drought. Their toughness and sturdiness makes Chives a perfect plant for herb gardening, especially if the gardener doesn’t want plants that require a lot of hassle. Chives are good used in salads, egg dishes, and many different sauces.

Mint is also very simple to grow and is good to use in mint jelly, mint juleps, lemonade, and any other kind of fruity drink. Mint is also good in herb gardening for its unique minty smell. Two herbs that appear in nearly everyone’s herb garden are thyme and sage. Both of these herb gardening favorites are used for flavoring soups, chicken, turkey, pork, and other sausages. Sage is also grown sometimes for its beautiful blue spiked flowers.

Lavender is probably the best smelling herb in all of herb gardening and is often used in candles, as a perfume scent, and to improve the smell in linen chests. The light purple flowers smell absolutely lovely.

Other types of herbs often grown in herb gardening include borage (used in salads), chervil (used in egg dishes), sweet marjoram (flavors lamb, fish, salad, and soup), sesame (flavors crackers, cookies, and bread), and dill (flavors meats and used in pickles). Herb gardening allows gardeners to use herbs from their own garden for cooking, looks, and smell. Herb gardening will produce much fresher herbs with more flavor than store-bought herbs, and are a lot cheaper.

Your outdoor living spaces should suit your family’s lifestyle as well as be an extension of your indoor living areas. Such outdoor areas should be designed to maximize their space, complement your home and lot, and be functional for the types of activities you plan to enjoy – be it for outdoor dining, entertaining, sports, child’s play, relaxing, or multi-purpose use.

Dining, relaxation, and entertaining areas are best located near their corresponding indoor areas, such as living room, den, family room, kitchen. A quiet, private area may be best located outside of a den; a hot tub in a sheltered spot outside of the master bedroom, and so on. In addition to a sheltered spot near your home, such areas can be located in your backyard as a special nook. If designing with children and pets in mind, remember to plan for adequate ground cover, adequate space, and adequate visual supervision capacity from the more utilized areas of your home, i.e. the kitchen or living room. Plan your outdoor entertaining space so it offers views into the children’s outdoor area as well.

Privet hedges, raised berms, stone walls, fencing, trellises, arbors, and plantings can be used for varying degrees of privacy, noise and wind buffering, and landscape enhancement. Structural and hardscape components of your outdoor living space can consist of decking, patio, pool, spa, or other water feature areas, gazebos, sheds or work areas, game and sports areas, greenhouse, or workshop. A patio sited off of a living room or family room with dimensions of at least 12 x 16 is best-suited as an outdoor extension of its complementary interior space. For quieter outdoor spaces, water features such as a natural stream, swimming pool, fountain, waterfall, small pond, or water garden can be added. Flowing water always lends a sense of tranquility while increasing the beauty of your yard.

Planning for ease and circulation of traffic flow from outdoor to indoor living areas and vice versa needs to be considered. Areas of limited access, like service areas, may not be a part of this circulation pattern, but need to be functional for access. Ease of movement is paramount for indoor/outdoor entertaining areas. Plantings, gardening areas, and outdoor structural and hardscape components are also used to guide eyes and traffic flow between and among the areas they highlight or enhance. Fencing, garden beds, arbors, trellises, foundation plantings, and berms, ornamental grasses, shrubbery, paths, and walkways can be used to define the perimeters of activity areas or to separate them from one another where desired.
