Your Herb Garden: The Basic Concepts
Your Herb Garden: The Basic Concepts Herb gardening is a topic that many gardeners are drawn to. These plants are easy to grow and have the appeal of instant gratification, as they can be used in soups, marinades, and other recipes. Maintaining your herb garden all year is effortless to do as you can cultivate the herbal plants in pots and move them in when the weather conditions starts to turn cold. Since perennial natural herbs don't die easily or need replanting every end of the year, they are a practical (and fun) addition to your garden. Think about the types of flavors you prefer cooking with (and eating)when picking out herbs for your garden. Basil, oregano, and thyme are great herbs to plant if you enjoy cooking and eating Italian food. If you prefer Latin themed food, you may decide to plant cilantro instead. The location of your herb garden will identify what herbs can be planted and how long they will survive.
If you live in a mild climate, with warm winters and relatively cool summers, it may be easiest to plant straight into the ground. This makes your property look breathtaking without the trouble of making or buying planters. Plants often expire or become inactive because of direct exposure to the extreme weather. As a result, many people have opted for planters because they are convenient and practical.

Wall fountains are not restricted to indoor use, however. Fiberglass or resin wall water features can be installed externally. Back yards, porches, or other outdoor spaces needing a stylish touch should include a water fountain made of one of these weather-proof materials.

A city dweller’s design ideas might call for polished glass whereas a mountaineer might prefer a more traditional material such as slate for a mountain lodge. It is up to you to select the right material for you. No doubt however, fountains are sure to add to your quality of life and impress your guests.
