Michael asks…
How can I make a potted herb mini-garden?
I want to make a potted herb garden for a Christmas gift for my dad. He loves cooking and all, and I’d like to make it with the following herbs
-Cilantro
-Basil
-Rosemary
-Oregano
-Parsley
-Tarragon or thyme
Can these herbs be store bought as clippings and planted directly in soil? I’ve heard of just using a clipping of a mature plant and letting it grow in the soil. Is it possible for these herbs? Do I have to get seeds or buy plants?
GardenersCardiff answers:
That would be a wonderful gift. If he has a window in the kitchen, it would be a perfect place for a herb garden.
Stores do not sell clippings. So buy the plants already growing in small pots. OR you can plant seeds in pots, keep moist not wet until you see the green appear.
OR give your dad pots that match, GOOD potting soil, and the seeds. Let him grow his own.
Take a look at this (but I am sure you can buy this locally at stores such as Home Depot or Lowes, at gardening centers and nurseries:

William asks…
What are good gifts for a friend who was promoted to a manager?
I have a friend I work with that was recently promoted to being a manager of a team. I am looked for good suggestions for some gifts for her. They must travel well – wither through mail or via air travel as I will be visiting her next week.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Money plant and a card
flowers
maybe a zen garden
maybe a travel book or any sort of book that can help pass time on a plane or waiting in line!
Maybe make a collage of the old friend in old job and then show the improvement!
Ask them what they need and get them that!
Out of suggestions now !
Good luck
and tell your friend Kudo’s
