Tip of the Week
Basil, an annual, can be found in both purple and green varieties. This herb is wonderful for fish, pasta sauces and sprinkling over salads or sliced tomatoes. Planting 3-4 types of this herb, along with parsley or cilantro and the woodier thymes, creates a lovely display of color and texture.
Depending on your placement of a barrel, you would place the tallest plants either in the back or middle of the planter. If it backs against a fence or porch, placing rosemary in the back, with medium plants in the middle, will give the arrangement a balanced look. For stand alone siting, the taller plants would be in the middle, ringed by plants of differing sizes.
