The rest of our fruit/ vegetable garden; kiwi, grapes, all sorts of berries, strawberries, peppermint and mint, potatoes, plums, lemonbalm, oregano, chives, thyme, lavender, hazelnuts. It is quite a lot after those nearly 7 years when I list it like that. #fruitgarden #herbgarden #vegetablegarden

This week I have spent a lot of time staring at six herb pots on my balcony

When I was planting them I labeled each herb on the side of wooden laundry pegs because I couldn't be bothered to suss out how to make tags

Here's dill and some kind of spice fennel thing? I fished it out of the discount clearance pile of a garden store that went bankrupt last year.

Marjoram and basil are very very tiny still.

Sage and chives have given up. May have to attempt with new seeds.

Usually I've grown herbs *historically* indoors, but one of my old cats believes baby herbs are only good for eating or sitting on, so it's been a long while since I've grown any. The outdoors temperatures fluctuate wildly, and the sun and the glass windows trapping heat make the balcony a hothouse on some days, with cold nights in between, I'm surprised four out of six have made it.

I wanted oregano as well, but I haven't found seeds for that yet : (

The rosemary is in bloom and the bumblebees know it! ๐Ÿ A buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) working its way through the delicate pale-blue flowers of rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus). This beloved herb isn't just for the kitchen โ€” it's a fantastic early-season nectar source that pollinators absolutely love.

De rozemarijn staat in bloei en de hommels weten het! ๐Ÿ Een aardhommel (Bombus terrestris) gaat vol aan de slag met de lichtblauwe bloempjes van rozemarijn (Salvia rosmarinus). Dit geliefde keukenkruid is niet alleen voor in de pot โ€” het is ook een fantastische nectarbron vroeg in het seizoen waar bestuivers dol op zijn.

One of my favorite places in summer.
This is where I grow my vegetables and herbs, where my home stands.
A place to linger, to do nothing at all.
Watching nature, watching plants grow,
following the bees as they move from flower to flower. I miss it already...

Most people plant herbs wrong โ€” and thatโ€™s why some thrive while others die. โŒ

The secret isnโ€™t more fertilizer or waterโ€ฆ
Itโ€™s planting the RIGHT herbs together โœ…

Some herbs share sunlight, soil, and watering needs โ€” and when paired correctly, they:
๐ŸŒฟ Grow faster
๐ŸŒฟ Stay healthier
๐ŸŒฟ Taste better in cooking
