Cut Flower Gardening, Growing Herbs for Foliage

- With so little space on my allotment I have started growing herbs down my tiny side garden to provide filler and foliage for my cut flower arrangements. Its time to look at what has done well so far including reviewing my borage, dill, mint, rosemary, barley and sage and what I am putting in the ground now that things are warming up: Opal basil, Clarey sage, Chervil and Amaranthus.
I'm Pheigi at From The Witch's Garden, a Scottish girl trying to grow cut flowers on my allotment in Kanagawa prefecture in Japan. Remember to subscribe if you want to follow along and see if we actually get any flowers at the end of the season or if it is all a crispy burnt mess.

Your right! “ Rolly Polly Pill bugs do eat roots AND will devour marigolds. All that they left of my Marigolds were main stem and the flower. All leaves gone!!! The plants died🥲
They are a nightmare and have eaten anything that I put in that little side garden. It seems that only established plants transplanted in can survive.
One of the best videos out there, thank you for a great presentation. beautiful and full of tops. Really top notch, thank you
Thank you so much, I’m really glad you found it useful 🌱
A great use of a difficult space and I didn't know you can use Borage in the vase - you learn something new every day 😊 Do bees visit? (I was thinking the tennis players would probably complain 😠) Enjoyed the video 👍
The tennis players are more likely to complain about the kids accidentally soaking them with the hose while trying to water the garden than the bees 🤣. We have a tiny patch of grass down the other side of the house that the kids planted with wildflower seeds a few weeks back so we will hopefully have more bugs in the garden this summer.
I would have to be eating that dill! What about bronze fennel? That's pretty too! The borage is fabulous. I love chervil for eating. I had one winter over and was excited for it to bloom and seed naturally in my garden but alas a root grub invaded the root and turned it to mush hence killing it.Clary sage grows kind of like the borage I think. I get pill bugs, they eat all my seedlings! Argh! I love your herb garden =)
Seriously pill bugs are only half a step behind mosquitoes on my stupid alive things list. Bronze fennel is a great idea, I will put it on the list 🌱
This is the first yr I had trouble with the pill bugs. What do you do to get rid of them?
@@denisefaust6408 Nothing that has worked very well I am afraid. I try to scoop a lot of them out when the little ones are hatching and moving them somewhere else (the little bit of scrub land on the corner of the road) but there are so many hiding in the mud that I can never get them all. I have heard putting out hold an orange at night then lifting it in the morning with all the pill bugs stuck to it and removing them that way works. If you figure something out please let me know!
