Anybody here grow herbs?

[JulieL]

I know this is kind of a different topic, but I decided to try to grow my own herbs this year. The problem I had was that all I could find were mixed seed packets so now I have three pots of herbs growing on my deck and I have to figure out what is what.


Does anyone know of a good website with photos and tips?

My neighbor grows 'herbs' in his basement. It's not the kind of herb you pick up in a multi-seed packet, if you kwim [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img][img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]


Here's a site that has a list of herbs and single photos. HTH!

Julie-I grow lots of herbs & I actually tell which is which sometimes by smell! If you rub the leaves you can tell-especially if you have dried herbs in your pantry like oregano (for pizza), basil, etc. If you need any help w/your herbs let me know. [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]
