I think my hubby wants to plant herbs in our front yard's landscaping...but I'm weary of bugs getting to them and would rather do this indoors...what's the best way?
I like to add so herbs in my landscape simply because they add color and smell great. Not to mention that it's so easy to snip what I need for lunch or dinner fresh from the garden. I plant dill, sage, thyme, rosemary, oregano, chamomile, several varieties of mints and basil and some grasses. I haven't found that they attract pests any more so than other shrubs, and some of them seem to deter them. I like the look of pots of some herbs in my kitchen mostly for aesthetic purposes, but the serious herb gardening is done outdoors where they can flourish.

I live in a townhome community. Close neighbors, most of the houses look similar etc. The landscaping crew(s) do take care of the land mostly, but i have a little patch of grass outside where there is also a walking path- a lot of people walk their dogs etc. I have started to grow many different herbs (like basil, sage etc) How can i encourage people to take some without them taking it all and also how to encourage a real sense of community here in these hard times? i am also growing vegetables and woudl share as well..but would like to keep some for myself and my family.
i would make up fliers and give one to each person.
word it kinda like this
i have started a community herb garden. please feel free to take a snip or two of some herbs as you need.
please remember this is for everyone so please take only what you need when you need it.
donations to add more herbs are appreciated.
signed, tenant your name and unit #
you can also try to do a community pot luck bbq once or twice a month and use the veggies and herbs in some dishes you make.
word of mouth will take the garden far. it's a great idea.
i have a large herb garden that i made this year, and a large veggie garden, any veggies i can't consume myself will be taken to my place of work and given away, or to charity.
as for the veggies. are they in the "communal" area?
people might assume they are free pickings so you might want to try to keep some near your unit so they aren't all taken and you don't get any

Going With The French Style
Although the French style of growing an herb garden, is in long rows of built troughs with every imaginable herb possible to be used in their own kitchens. A person can create herb garden of choice from its own either from own home and it is not so difficult. If you do have some space you could plant your herb garden in tiers, making more ground space available to work from, and if you have a large plot, you too could smaller troughs to put your own herbs in.
Amount Of Space Makes A Huge Difference While Creating Herb Garden
If you are in a tiny space with no land to plant any herbs or plants in you could create your own little indoor herb garden on your windowsill. If there is sprinkler system going over,it should be planted separately to the others as every herb garden has to have the basic of parsley in it. Parsley just as lavender is just some of those plants that actually don’t want water all over it; just the soil needs to stay moist.

Besides Rosemary’s many culinary and medicinal properties and its many household uses, its trusses of blue flowers nestled among pine needle-like leaves are an attractive ornamental shrub for perennial borders and beds. Let’s talk about some tips you can quickly learn on how to grow rosemary herb.
Rosemary grows tall and erect or bushy and compact depending on the variety, but it can also grow down, similar to a vine. Rosemary and its cultivars are best started from plants. When grown from seed, germination is slow with variable results and sometimes easier to get started in the less humid fall seasons. Plants, however, can be set out in the spring when the weather has warmed in zones 1 through 9, and in spring or fall in zone 10.
