Mother’s Day, is the perfect time to surprise your Mama with her own herb garden. All you need is a few herb starters to plant a potted herb garden right outside her door. Herbs are wonderful for adding flavor and nutrients to your recipes and they are so easy to grow, instead of paying top dollar at the grocery store. Head to your local nursery or big box store for the following supplies:
1 large pot
1 bag of potting soil (enough to fill the pot)
4-5, 2″ to 4″ herb plants (small is best because they will grow)
Oregano
Flat Leaf Parsley
Thyme
Dill Weed
Directions:
I selected these herbs because they are better for container pots. Some herbs like Rosemary, get very large and thrive best in the ground. Fill the pot with soil leaving room to set the plants below above the top of the pot. Water the plants in the original containers so they will be moist. Remove the plants from the containers and place them in the soil, leaving room for each plant to grow. Cover the plants with soil and press slightly to make sure the plant is protected and set.
Use Markers to identify your plants, like these cute ones here.
Water the plants well. Place a Mama’s day card pouring your heart out with love and appreciation.
Happy Mother’s Day!
