I’m interested in starting an herb garden in my Harlem apartment, but I don’t know where in the city to go for gardening supplies and plants. All the massive gardens are in lower Manhattan, but if I just want simple things like mint or basil, is there a more convenient location?

I’m growing a vegetable garden in a few weeks and I would like to grow some herbs too. I live in Sacramento, CA. I was wondering what kind of herbs are easy to grow and take care of in a small corner of my vegetable garden. I heard that some herbs spread uncontrollably and I wanted to make sure that I don’t grow herbs that will try to take over my garden. The herbs that I’m especially interested in are small onions, garlicRosemaryry, and mint. But I don’t know anything about them. Can you help me?

I have an herb garden and I know most of them are ok to share with my rats, but when I was walking through my bedroom from the yard with a handful of mint they started going nuts! Is it safe to let them have a piece or two? They really want some!

I read that drinking herb tea when pregnant is not good unless you find out with a Doctor if it is safe..
Well, i have been having terrible Morning sickness, and my friend told me to take anything that has peppermint, the only thing i have is tea. It’s an all natural tea, caffeine free, blend of chamomile and mint, Is this safe?

Okay so a family friend gave us cuttings from her herb garden, and we have no idea which is which… so hopefully you could help by identifying them from these photos……
