HOW TO PLANT YOUR HERB GARDEN
- Cover the bottom of the flowerpot with stones for drainage.
- Fill the pot partway with soil.
- Carefully remove plants from their containers and position them in the larger pot, leaving some space between each plant.
- Water until the soil is damp, then place the flowerpot in a sunny spot.
- Water the herbs when the soil dries out—about once a week. Then watch your garden grow.
