I can't see your photos in the top post, but the cart looks wonderful. Is the red flower for visual presentation, or are you trying to attract a particular polinator to the area?

Last night my garden club had a speaker who gave a short presentation on growing herbs. I was surprised that she said to fertilize them onec per month with special herb fertilizer. I thought fertilizer weakens flavor. She uses regular potting soil in containers, and I have been wasting money on gritty amendments. She has never use coir. I also learned that herbs have scent glands!

She brought citronella, and a pot with three scented geraniums. I plan to consider ordering these from a catalog next year.

Please post a photo when you get your plants in to their forever homes!
