Herb gardens for a sustainable Mediterranean lifestyle
Bud Houston’s Buddys brings together climate-smart tips, seasonal guidance, and practical layouts for thriving herb beds. Embrace sunset hues, drought-aware practices, and perennial abundance.
Clean beds, amend soil with compost, and sow hardy herbs like thyme, oregano, and chives. Use drip irrigation to conserve water.
Mulch around herbs to conserve moisture. Plant basil and cilantro after last frost. Protect from winds with low trellises.
Harvest leaves in the morning. Pinch to encourage bushy growth. Water deeply at roots, avoiding wetting foliage.
Introduce marjoram and savory for flavor diversity. Pair tomatoes with oregano for natural pest deterrence.
Plant rosemary cuttings indoors or in warm microclimates. Save seeds; prepare beds for winterizing with compost cover.
Light pruning, keep containers sheltered, and plan rotation for next year. Focus on drought-resilient varieties.
