<h2>herbs</h2>
<p><!-- Carnival Submission --><strong>Sam</strong> presents <a href="http://www.surfersam.com/articles/herb-garden-in-a-pot.htm">How To Grow a Herb Garden in a Pot.  This Tasty Garden is All About Flavor!!!</a> posted at <a href="http://www.surfersam.com/">Surfer Sam and Friends</a>, saying, &#8220;Thanks for including my article. Here&#8217;s an excerpt&#8230; How to Grow a Herb Garden in a Pot This Tasty Garden Is All About Flavor Flavor, Fragrance and Flowers Herbs make a great starter garden for the beginner. And they reward you with their fragrance, flowers and flavor. No backyard? No problem! Create a herb garden in a clay pot. Your herbs will thrive in a pot on the balcony, the fire escape, the back step or inside at a sunny window. A herb garden is a good way for the novice gardener to get a successful start. Fresh herbs add more kick to your cooking and lots of vitamins for your health. Herbs grow vigorously and tolerate growing conditions that are not ideal. Creating a herb garden is quick, easy and inexpensive. In just a few steps you can grow your own herbs that will last all summer long. People always ask how to pronounce the word “herb”? Is it “an urb” or is it “a herb”? The experts are divided on that. Say it anyway you want, herbs are easy to grow, and fun to use. For your first herb garden in a pot, try favorites like sweet basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary and chives. These herbs are easy to grow, indoors or outside, and just a pinch makes a world of different in a stew or salsa. Let’s get started on our herb garden in a pot. Choose a large container with a diameter of about 20 inches. Any plastic or clay container will work as long as it has a drainage hole. Select a location that gets full sun at least 5 hours a day or more. Cover the drainage hole loosely with gravel or broken pottery to keep the soil from coming out. Some instructions say to soak your clay pot overnight in water first, but soaking is optional. Some glazed ceramic pots may contain lead in the glaze, so avoid them.&#8221;</p>
