HERBS

When is the best time to transplant herbs from your garden to pots?

I have a veggie garden and some herbs in it and I am really running out of room so I have decided to transplant The Herbs to pots. Is the winter a good time to transplant them because they aren’t growing? or in the summer when they are?

Hi:
Transplanting your herbs from the garden to pots will depend on where they are at maturity. If a Basil Plant is in full bloom, I would wait until blooms die out. It sounds like you are in a tropical location or in summer time in the Southern Hemisphere. If you can, wait until fall to transplant your herbs as the herbs love the warm weather and will peak during this season. Fall will work great as you can transplant your herbs and either bring them in for the winter, (which they will continue to grow) or if your climate is warm enough, they should do fine in pots outside.

When you transplant the herbs into pots, purchase a light weight potting soil. Add some vermiculite and some humas to your soil. (Herbs love this combination) Containers need more watering then plants that are in the ground. You can also add a little pine straw or mulch in the pots to help retain the moisture.

There are evergreen herbs also that will do well year around outside. Rosemary is a perfect example. I hope this has helped some. I will link you to the spice and herb section of my website. There are different articles that may help you. I will also link you to the site map as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through and see if there is any other information that may help in this garden or any other landscape project. There is a page also on container gardening. Have a great day!
