Spring is is always a welcome friend after the often cold, cloudy days of winter. It is time to meet the Spring with some rejuvinating preparations for your Herb garden. Let's look at some tips...

• Add compost to the Soil

One of the best things you can do for your garden is to amend the soil with some compost. This will create a wonderful living sponge that will hold moisture and fertilizer to be taken up by the plant, as well as facilitate deeper root penetration. If you haven't already done this in late winter, it is time now.

• Add more organic fertilizers.

As the weather gradually warms, bacteria start breaking down fertilizers to be taken up during Spring rains. Now is definitely time to make sure the new growth and new energy of your herbs is accompanied with proper nutrition. Organic fertilizers provide the steady nutrition herbs like.

• Use drip or soaker hose irrigation

Spring will bring us some showers but be prepared to get ready for the coming dry spells. Set up your drip or soaker hose irrigation now.

• Seeding and Cuttings

If you haven't already started cuttings from your perennials( remember fall tips ? ) you may have to wait until new growth gradually becomes abundant, but for annuals, sow, sow sow!
