Our Herb and Tomato Garden




We used these converted whiskey barrels to plant  parsley, sage, rosemary thyme, basil, spearmint, tarragon and tomatoes.

The basil (top left) was growing like crazy so wanted to know how best to "harvest". This video was very helpful. I'm using the same trimming technique for harvesting and pruning the spearmint, too.
