Tips for an herb garden:

• Plant in full or mostly sun
• Choose a well drained location (herbs don’t like wet feet)
• Mix in some sand when planting (in clay soil) for better drainage
• Place taller growing herbs in the rear as a backdrop such as lavender, rosemary and pineapple sage
• Plant chocolate mint in a container for control
