I want to get it more established and then try putting it outside. I’ve got Coriander growing at the moment, but it’s still a little young to use.

As a garnish, it adds a really fresh, unique flavour, but I like it as a dish of its own; a very quick stir fry, finished with some soy sauce and sesame oil. My fave has to be Coriander.

Our herb garden had a bin bag of clay buried in it, so everytime you pull some weeds up, more clay appears! There was also a lot of glass in it but I cleared the top layer away and threw some top soil on it. As for fresh herbs, everything goes great with them! My favourite is basil, tomato and mozarella. Okay, so basil is grown indoors in a pot but it's still fresh! Good luck with the summer plans :) Herbs are great as they grow virtually anywhere!

One has a decent growth of plants and trees, but the other is like what you've described above; full of rubble, glass, bits of metal and lots of weeds. We spent a few days trying to clear it up one summer, but didn't finish it and now nature has once again reclaimed it. We (okay, it was my other half!) did put down some herbs and they grew very well. Barbecues smell great with some fresh-out-of-the-ground herbs! The plan for the spring/summer is to dig a hole for a pond (someone donated a plastic liner to us) and erect a shed to clear some space in the garage for non-gardening junk!
