Herb Garden
Answer: Chives, mint, oregano and marigolds were available at a local nursery so I planted them together in a lovely container.
Fairy Garden and Companion Planting
Answer: I read that parsley, strawberries and peas grow well together. The castle is for fairy visitors.
Indoor Kitchen Garden
Answer: It started with a few seeds in March and exploded into a mini-greenhouse in my kitchen. The basil and tomatoes seem happiest indoors. It was too cool when I tested growing them outdoors in a makeshift cold frame. The pumpkins, beans, peas and sunflower are also very happy sitting in the window.
