CLINIC UPDATE
One spring activity we think youmay enjoy is planting a potted herb garden. Follow our tips below or contact our clinic for more info on how you can enjoy the spring while still protecting yourself! 1. Discover what herbs will work best for you. Do you find yourself frequently cooking with certain herbs? Instead of making another trip to the grocery store, you can grow them right in your backyard! Figure out what herbs you will use the most and notice how convenient it is to have them growing right outside your home. 2. Make sure you have enough room for each herb to grow and thrive. A common mistake when planting a garden is not allowing enough room for plants to grow. Most herbs require a diameter of 1-4 feet in their pot to allow the roots to grow and spread. A general guideline for common herbs is as follows:

•
1 foot in diameter: chives, cilantro, parsley, dill
• 2 feet in diameter: summer savory, thyme, basil, tarragon
• 3-4 feet in diameter: sage, mint, rosemary, marjoram, oregano
3. Make sure your herb garden is in the right light. For best results, herbs generally prefer full, bright light, as long as temperatures are not too hot that they burn the plant. If temperatures reach above 90 degrees in the summer, then it is best to plant your herb garden in an area where it can get bright morning light and afternoon shade. Be sure to check lighting and watering requirements for each herb you purchase.
