One of my goals this year was to grow a herb garden. I’m not a very skilled gardener, I know how to plant things, water them, and maybe use some fertiliser if I’m feeling adventurous. Luckily the little seedlings are growing nicely. I think I picked a good thing to grow since herbs like being in pots, and getting lots of sun!
I planted:
- Mint (very good in iced tea)
- Oregano (for pizza!)
- Thyme
- Majoram (good on roasted veggies)
- Feverfew (it has pretty flowers)
They’re doing very well so far, and have grown enough that I have started using some in my cooking.

And… this blog has had a little makeover! I’m so proud that I managed to master the three-column layout. It was a hard fought battle, but I won in the end! I took lots of inspiration from Pugly Pixel‘s great resources. She does good work!
With the new design, I’m so excited to announce that Royal Milk Tea is accepting sponsors! You can read all about it here. Regular sized spaces are free if you want to do a sponsorship swap! I think it will be fun! Please let me know if you’d like to know more ?

I LOVE the new layout Lyndall, your blog is even more beautiful! (If possible!).
Your blog makes me so happy :). Love your herb garden, I really love how you chose all your herbs according to what you like them with, so lovely!
Thank you, La! You’re so sweet!
you’ve such a cute blog!
Aw, thank you!
i love the new layout as well :) wonderful job! also i’m jealous of your herb garden… we’re trying to grow some parsley right now, but who knows how that will turn out. i’ve killed many a plant in my day :)
Thank you! Parsley is usually pretty hardy so hopefully yours will grow really well :)
LOVIN’ the new layout! So much prettiness – like a lot!
Thank you! ♥
Wow, your herb garden puts my sad little weeds to shame. I try, every year, to plant buckets of basil, cilantro, chives, oregano…none of it ever takes. I’m like the worst gardener ever. You must be cooking up some wonderful things with your bounty!
Oh, that’s a shame! Do you use seeds or seedlings? I never have any luck with seeds. My main problem so far has been bugs eating the leaves, grr!
the new layout looks beautiful.
love your little herb garden..i should really try this next spring.
i really would love to grow lavender. we will see… :)
Thank you Gee! ♥ Ooh, I love lavendar. I have a little bit growing in a pot, I hope it gets lots of flowers. Rosemary is nice too!
Love your little herb garden! Can’t wait to see what you make with them!

Secondly, reading this makes me so excited to start an herb garden at my new place. I know I definitely want to try basil, cilantro, and mint. Your herbs look really beautiful. Thanks for the lovely motivation as I totally don’t have a green thumb:)
Aw, thank you!
Good luck with your herb garden! I think if I can grow plants, anyone can :)
I want to grow an herb garden too! I have to get on that, I miss having fresh herbs.

It’s really nice being able to pick a handful of fresh herbs to use in cooking! I love it~
I’ve always wanted an herb garden too! I tried having one at the last place I lived and it didn’t work out too well.. I think I should try again!
I found you through your post on City Birds Nest! Love your blog!
Welcome! Thank you for your sweet comment :) I hope you have better luck with your next herb garden!

Love you new look, great job! My garden looks more like a jungle at the moment… sigh. Your little herbs are inspiring. x
Aw, thank you! ♥
I’ve got some herbs planters on my kitchen window sill, parsley + chives. They could probably do with a little more use to make them bush out but whatever, they make me feel healthy when I look at them!
