First stop, the nursery. They each had a wagon in tow- I think this was the favorite spot. We just went to our local nursery. (remember Edwards Laura?) We chose out of the huge selection of herbs. The best part is in the selecting. As you check out the herbs, rub/pet them with your hands- you can smell them sooo strong. Some of our picks were Lemon thyme, lemon basil (the lemon varieties were insanely smelling!) we also snagged a Pineapple thyme- and many others.
I had them all plant herbs. My darling friend Chelsea helped us out. She gave us amazing gardening tips. (like not planting tomatoes with peppers- didnt know you shouldn't do that!) She also saved us money on the potting soil. She went right into home depot and asked for any of their "torn" bags- she got crazy discounts just b/c the bag was torn! I never would have thought of that! But it all works the same...
S. Planted a Pizza garden. -Italian spices- oregano, Italian parsley, and basil. (and of course a flower....) we had so much fun. They kids have enjoyed the responsibility of watering their plants. They get hit about 3 times a day!
