Herbs

We have started some herbs for indoor growing over the winter. We are starting some in the greenhouse too, to see how they cope over the winter. It doesn't matter if they fail as we have plenty more seeds to sow more in the spring.

Sowings so far:
2 Chives
2 Coriander Cilantro
2 Red Basil
2 Russian Tarragon
4 Thyme Old English
4 Sage

We've also sown a cell tray of:
8 Mint
8 Red Basil
8 Sweet Basil

We'll need to sow a lot more herbs sometime soon. We're planning to have lots of sage plants in tubs in between all the brassicas next year - apparently these help keep the cabbage white's off the brassicas - we don't want the veggies ruined by caterpillars!

Reminder - we must look up "companion planting" - the art of planting one thing with something else to ward off pests!
