The first time I tasted cilantro was an unbelievable experience. It was at a small taqueria in Boston, one of those restaturants where they have all kinds of fresh ingredients and they create the whole thing before your eyes. I asked to try it before they added it to my burrito. It was unforgettable. Then I tried my hand at my first cilantro pesto and I was forever hooked.

I don’t know, but I don’t think you can officially call yourself an herb gardener unless you’ve got some thyme growing there.  It’s one of the most essential and helpful plants around.  It doesn’t hurt that it has more than a hundred varieties, each of which has its own unique flavor and aroma.

Regardless of which variety of thyme you grow, they all have a woody, twig like stem and small oval-shaped leaves.  Thyme will have small purple, pink or white blooms that bud in early summer or late spring depending on the growing season.

Would you like to start on hydroponic gardening, the next best thing to traditional gardening all housewives are good at doing? It is the latest trend with housewives as the harvest obtained from it is fresh and healthy for the family. Now who wouldn’t want good things for the children right? After all, how healthy you are is determined by what you eat.

Growing herbs inside is more complicated than outside, just because of problems with sunlight, heat and drainage, but when wintery weather visits and the frost blankets all your outside herb plants you can always find comfort in your inside herbs. Because you are likely to use your inside herb plants in your recipes, the kitchen will be a great place to grow them.

My kitchen table is directly below the window and that is where I keep my potted herbs through the cold winter months–It’s best if your window faces the the south so that your herbs will receive that delightful sunlight they need.. If you do not have a southward-facing window, don’t feel bad because any sunlight can be helpful sunshine.

Home gardening is a general term that covers not only plant cultivation but landscaping, lawn mowing, watering and soil fertilizing too. Gardening is a popular occupation, and for lots of good reasons: some consider it relaxing, others want to enjoy the beauty of harvesting crops or they just try to go organic. There is much more to be said about motivation, but it usually differs from case to case. An earth-friendly attitude more easily finds expression in home gardening.

There are many different ways of planting roses, and many different reasons for changing how you plant them. One reason may be as simple as the fact that a garden entirely of roses would be considered a “monoculture,” meaning that if a disease or a pest strikes one kind of rose in the garden, it’s likely to take them all out. Some varieties are more vulnerable than others; for example, the tea rose tends to be more susceptible to such things. But it still might be wise to plant not just roses in your flower garden, but other flowers as well, to try to mitigate that danger.
