🌿Insider Tips to Growing Herbs with Flavor

Welcome, fellow mountain gardeners! Ken Lain here, your neighborly guide from Watters Garden Center.

 

Spring in our Arizona highlands is a vibrant, sometimes dramatic awakening. Just like my own wildflowers pushing through the soil, your gardens are likely showing new life. Have you noticed those first blooms on your Forsythia or the fresh growth on your roses?

 

Now is the time to think about consistent moisture. Once you see that new growth and those first flowers, it's time to activate your irrigation for a deep weekly soak, especially for your established trees and shrubs. Think of it as giving your garden a refreshing drink after a long winter's nap.

 

And speaking of fresh starts, there's nothing quite like stepping out of your door to snip flavorful herbs for your kitchen. Imagine the taste of homegrown rosemary on the grill or fresh garlic greens in your morning frittata!

 

Plant your favorites now – rosemary, lavender, sage, thyme, and all those wonderful mint varieties thrive in our bright days and cool nights. Consider a sunny spot, perhaps even the east side of your home, for the most flavorful results. Happy gardening!
