Herb Gardens
The herb garden is often a separate space in the garden, devoted to growing a specific group of plants known as herbs. These gardens may be informal patches of plants, or they may be carefully designed, even to the point of arranging and clipping the plants to form specific patterns, as in a knot garden.
Herb gardens may be purely functional, or they may include a blend of functional and ornamental plants.The herbs are usually used to flavour food in cooking, though they may also be used in other ways, such as discouraging pests, providing pleasant scents, or serving medicinal purposes, among others.
Annual culinary herbs: basil, dill, summer savory
Perennial culinary herbs: mint, rosemary, thyme, tarragon
Herbs used for potpourri: lavender, lemon verbena
Herbs used for tea: mint, lemon verbena, chamomile, bergamot, Hibiscus sabdariffa (for making karkade).
Herbs used for other purposes: stevia for sweetening, feverfew for pest control in the garden.
If you don't have the space out doors for your herb garden, try growing one indoors or on your patio.

Square Foot Garden
I have been reading much about the method of gardening called "Square Foot Garden" I have not personally tried this...but it seems fun. Especially if you live in a city, or have a small plot of land. Please visit here to learn more.
Soggy
It's been a little damp here in SouthEast PA. Hopefully you have been able to get your hands in the dirt where you are. In between rain showers, I have been able to plant my: Onions, carrots, lettuce, radish, cabbage, and broccoli. This weekend I am going to start to harden off my tomatoe and pepper plants! I can't wait for a big, red, juicy tomatoe!
