We can take the heat (and humidity ) Basils Texas Tarragon Lemon Grass Pineapple Sage Mexican Oregano
We prefer the cool season Cilantro (or Coriander) – Grows like a weed! Plant Culantro or Vietnamese coriander for the summer. Dill - Grows fall to spring. Dont expect to see us around when the cukes come in. Lettuces add color to the winter garden – We need a little protection in cold snaps. Cabbage, kale, mustards and many other specialty greens thrive and are ornamental and edible. Arugula prefers cool. Survives both winter cold and the heat of summer.
Cool Season Gardens
We need a little t.l.c. Thymes Lavender Garden sage Excellent drainage and room to breathe make us happy. Lavender needs sweet soil.
We need lots of help at the Farm
