This is my herb garden. I love it. I have 11 different herbs in pots here on my front porch. I love to use them for cooking, they taste great. The herbs grow great too, even if they are in pots. I water them every day or every other day, and they are somewhat shaded and sheltered from the hot sun. The rosemary is about 3 or 4 years old, and the oregano, chives and thyme are from last year. They grow all year long here. The one problem I do have is that caterpillars always eat all of the dill. I've counted 7 caterpillars on my one poor little plant. But I want to attract butterflys, so I put up with it. I'd like to learn the best way to preserve the herbs, drying or freezing or whatnot.
