Basil is one of my very favorite herbs- as is rosemary. Right now in my garden, I have some herbs to plant- mainly basil, rosemary and thyme. Although reading garden books like Mary Mason Campbell’s “Kitchen Gardens” is very helpful in gaining advice before you plant. Learning what works well where comes from experience. No one season is the same, and there’s constant change in a garden. And a lot of what she knew was learned by trial and error- which is how the majority of us garden. Tasha planted this sort of garden masterfully. To some it may look very busy and bit of a jumble, but I love it. And, practically speaking, if plants grow large and close enough to take up the majority of the bed, it makes for less weeding. One thing that I have very much taken to heart about Tasha’s ‘cottage garden’ style of gardening is the love of a very full and abundant garden that is in continual bloom as spring flowers make way for summer flowers who make way for autumn flowers.
I’ve been writing these posts a long time!) (Speaking of Tovah Martin, I had the pleasure of interviewing her a few years ago, and you can read that interview HERE. The book by Tovah Martin is rich and lovely, and since Tovah is an avid gardener and talented writer, you get a very knowledgeable and intimate look at Tasha garden.
