Betty Purchases Herbs and Plants an Herb Garden--NO RECIPE--

In this video, Betty purchases herbs for planting outside, and then plants them in her herb garden. A few of our herbs that were planted last year survived the winter, so Rick and I had chives, tarragon, thyme, sage, and a few ornamental plants to start with. We went to Lowe's in Richmond and purchased curly parsley, flat parsley, oregano, basil, mint, rosemary, dill, cilantro, onion chives, a couple of tomato plants, a green bell pepper plant, a red bell pepper plant, and 2 hot pepper plants. We planted the herbs and vegetables on April 21 (two weeks ago), and they have been growing nicely since then. We did lose the two hot pepper plants very quickly to rabbits, so we may replace those, but they will have to be protected from the rabbits! We reorganized the ornamental plants a bit, moving a hosta plant to an empty spot in front of our azaleas in our landscaping around the house. I will be uploading a recipe using some of the herbs from our herb garden soon! I hope this video is helpful to you, if you are planning an herb garden. It is a lot of fun! --Betty :)

Hi! Great video, beautiful neighborhood! I have a question, all my herbs are in containers, I really would like to put them in a garden like yours, I was wondering if the soil that you were using was purchased, or did you just dig in that spot and use what was already there??

@sexykat426 Hi! Thanks for your comment! We dug out the grass in an oval shape and then bought bags of top soil to put on top. We just planted herb plants and put mulch over the top of the exposed soil. We have never had to weed or water, just harvest the herbs!

@bettyskitchen Betty, I have enjoyed your channel. I had a question about your herb garden...how did you manage to keep the bugs away? I had an herb garden this past summer and the bugs ate more of the herbs than I did. I didn't want to spray with pesticide. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[bettyskitchen]

@keifersmith I guess we were just lucky! We did not water or spray; we had some plants that did not survive, but no problems with bugs. We did have a little trouble with rabbits at the beginning of the growing season. I hope next year will be better for your herb garden!

HI betty: ) I just found this resturant by me that have 4 Chefs& each chef has a Sou Chef helping.It's a nice resturant we are going to.What is SO GOOD about this place is that behind their resturt.they grow ALL their own Organic vegtables then pick them & use all their home grown veggies and their grown herbs in their dishes.Cool huh?The menu changes daily as to what the Chef wants2 make that day.You get salad,soup,appitizer,dinner&de­ssert! It's about $60.00 or more a plate but isn't that cool?

[bettyskitchen]

Hi Betty!

Your herb garden looks like its going to be great! But...I must tell you mint spread like mad so you may want to contain it .

@SleepIsMagic hahahah That's how it is in a lot of areas in the South. Nothing but space! : )

[sexykat426]

@bettyskitchen That is so good to here! I cant wait to start on mine, I hope it comes out as nice as yours! Thanks for the great info!!

[ohpineapples]

@bettyskitchen Oh it's so cool. I've never seen anything like this resturant. All there veggies and herbs growing are so pretty. There all line up so pretty and maintained so well. You can tell they take pride in their work. It's really something to see and eat = ) I love the way the Chef's menu changes everyday. So if you don't like whats on the menu you just go another day & if there is a chef you really like - then you can eat there when he or she's cooking that day. Very, very cool!
