  • Frustrated Winter Herb Gardeners Unite!

      • Posted Jan 5, 2008 4:12 PM

      The sun's out and the christmas holidays are over and I want to get out in the garden but its too darn cold! That sun keeps tempting me, so today I ventured as far as the garden centre and picked up some seeds, a DVD on growing herbs (if I can't do it currently I can watch others lol), a book on making yummy things with herb scented oils and vinegars are I got some packets of seeds.

      Thompson & Morgan are offering a free packet of Teesdale Violet (Viola rupestris rosea) seeds, which the pack describes as "A charming garden plant which makes a compact mound of heart shaped foilage with many fragrant flowers."
      They're free with any 2 packs of T & M seeds, I picked up some Hyssop Tricolor Mixed, Chamomile, Meadowsweet and Dill, but now I have to wait until March/April to sow them. I know the garden has to rest and we have to have a winter, but could it get round to spring sooner lol! At least the violet seeds can go in next month. Until then I'll have to console myself with doing some planning and decided what will stay, what will move and what will go and any other changes I'm making.

      Is anyone else getting itchy green herb fingers? If so do you have a solution or something you do to help ease the withdrawal symptoms? No chocolate suggestions please, not unless it's chocolate violet creams or some such herbal goodie
