Herbs That Grow In My 100 Degree Garden - Desert Garden Zone 9b

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Your a sweetheart, I Love my herbs too, so good for you , the smells and taste of all the different herbs just makes me feel good , I dry so many herbs for the winter, I make mint teas, love them, keep up the good work , your proof you can grow so much in small area in very hot weather! God Bless

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Thank you, I really want to show how much we grow in the desert. It's one of the best climates because we can grow food all year long but I don't think most people know its possible. I love herbs too they are my favorite.

[@EdandDailymum]

Wow 😮 your garden is looking good 😊. And the herbs are coming along really well. Your yard must be smelling really good by now💕

[@dramatriangle]

Yay for hot weather plants!

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

I am happy with my herbs Started increasing them this season I was saying to a friend in order to use them like those chef on tv Have to have alot So I started more seeds and propagate some Except parsley 300 plants sprouted even in sidewalk cracks LoL

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Omg I love it you are going to be Parsley rich!!!

[@juneramirez8580]

I am also growing most of the herbs you are growing. I'm not growing stevia. I am in zone 9b low AZ desert. So far I haven't put any thing under shade cloth. They mostly get morning and early afternoon sun. I love all my lizards also. They are everywhere doing their bug eating jobs.

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

We still have really nice nights and mornings. Ohhhh I don't want to think about the 100 degree nights 😫

[@nancymeggelin5859]

I have happy rosemary and basil also in NLV, NV. Getting my real shade cover up this weekend.

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

I'm so happy I finally got the hang of growing rosemary. I love it but I swear I would kill it every year just over watering it.

[@donnalynch6523]

Great info. I’m in Phoenix also. My lemon balm, oregano, Greek thyme, stevia, sage and parsley are all growing huge! I do have a shade cloth over them.

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Nice!!! I love shade cloth it really helps to get the garden through the summer

Thank you very much!

[@breathe4430]

I am in a condo but I have a raised garden at my daughters house which is only about five minutes away. This morning I went onto my patio and realized it was time to move my herbs into my garden because the sun is just getting too darn hot. Even my basil wasn’t like in the heat on the patio. So I just finished transplanting and everybody looks much happier and hopefully they can spread their little roots out and keep growing and keeping healthy. I’m in Tucson foothills.

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Oh nice I'm glad you got everything happy again

[@yoginimichelleh]

Thanks for the encouragement! My new AZ garden is teaching me so much!

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Anytime there is nothing more beautiful than a desert garden, you are going to grow so well with it.

[@suzanneweary9739]

I need to move some things around. I was worried about my lemon balm, but now I see what I need to do. Thanks!

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

I love lemon balm, this one is on its second or 3rd year it just keeps growing back.

[@suzanneweary9739]

[@09echols]

I must need to put my lemon balm under a cover. It's become a gnat hotel.

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Ohhhh nooo so you want to water less to get rid of gnats. Are you getting a lot of rain?

[@09echols]

@@TeamBensonHomestead it has been raining at least an inch for the past 5 days. It's supposed to be rain free for the next 7 days

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

@@09echols yup that will do it. Let it dry out when it stops and that should make the gnats go away

[@lizzyboneez]

How often n how much water. Every time I transplant my herbs to a pot, they die 🥺

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

I water once a day and depending on the plant I might at a watering bulb. The mulch helps the most I use wood chips

[@lizzyboneez]

It's so nice and with all the plants the air in my backyard is so much cleaner.

[@karensterling5246]

Thanks for all of your wonderful garden shares Tiffany. I’m struggling to keep two stevia plants alive; one is gone and the other is struggling. I’ve been trying desperately to save it but to no avail. I guess I’ll try again in the fall. Also, the thyme. I thought if I grew them in a shady area they’d be fine. I guess I’ll be trying the different varieties to see which one(s) thrives in my garden. Thanks again for sharing and keep cool in that heat. Happy gardening 🌿🌸🦋🦎

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Anytime, you have to also think of the soil them itself too. Planting them in pots will allow you to bring them inside or with something that has more ground cover to keep the soil cooler. But sometimes its best just to use it in its season and let it rest. They will come back as long as you keep the roots watered.

[@karensterling5246]

@@TeamBensonHomestead good to know. I have one stem left and it’s on life support. I have it shaded but then we had some serious wind and rain and hardly any sun today. I’ll check on it tomorrow.

[@donnalynch6523]

Great info. I live in Phoenix. My Greek thyme, stevia, parsley, oregano, lemon balm, and sage are all huge and growing great. I do use shade cloth.

[@cw4814]

You are so cute! You don't see young women who can grow food and herbs!! I got many tips today!! Thank You! God Bless.

[@brianleabo6295]

Try 5 gallon buckets they work great

[@MsShirleyOGGardener]

Love all the herbs growing tips. Stay hydrated and don't forget sunblock, very important .

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Thank you I'm walking around with a bottle of mint water. But I love the heat lol.

[@cynthiahoffman8683]

On top of herbs growing, we all use to live on what we all now call weed's and some people spraying horrible things on them to get rid of them. We all need to relearn them all over again. It has definitely gotten hot this month. LOL!! Some of the herbs that are having trouble in growing outside, then maybe inside the house during the most trying time for them might be best. That kitchen herbal garden. 😉😁

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

I was laughing with my friend the other day talking about the old round up commercials (the I hate dandelion one) and now people are paying like $5.99 lb for dandelion leaves. We totally all have to relearn it will make such a difference in everyone's health. I try to grow some in the house but I have a dark house. We don't have any windows really facing the sun so we can keep it cool in the house but I have a huge dried herb stash. Like a full cabinet lol I might have a herb problem 😆🤣

[@cynthiahoffman8683]

@@TeamBensonHomestead But it is a good herb problem. I grew up running into the Mosquito fog on the streets in Mississippi. Yes, it is Very bad for you, along with the D D T's that were sprayed on the grass to keep the grass lush and the weeds at bay. Nowadays I refuse to even use roundup type product's. Besides what all it can do to our health, it isn't good for the earth. I think the older I get, the more hippie I become. LOL!

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Hey I got them from the Dollar Tree. Both hooks, pots, and chain.

My Thyme is really odd during the summer too :(

Mine is growing like a weed now. I switched things up and planted it during the fall and let it grow over the winter

[@shellybaldenegro1160]

I’ve killed all my rosemary

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Oh me and Rosemary struggled in the beginning. It really needs a lot of space for its roots. A lot of businesses in AZ grow them as full bushes for desert landscape.

[@shellybaldenegro1160]

Help me with oregano please?

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

I think it being in a pot has helped me the most. My one in the bed struggled but the one in the pot is amazing

[@sillieshouse7206]

So glad to find you Hoping to start a medicinal herb/flower/tea garden this year

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

It's amazing once you get it going. You can order herbs on Amazon or the green goddess house of herbs to get yourself started

[@dannettepeters1507]

Yes, fresh herbs are best for the kitchen, but medicinal herbs are best dried, then made into tea or even better tinctured.

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

I love teas and tinctures they are the best!

Hi Tiffany! FRAAAAAANK!!! 🦎💚❣️Your little raised bed for your herbs is so cool! Did y’all make it or buy it? Also the boxes that your growing greek thyme and lemon balm in, are they lined with plastic or anything?

[@TeamBensonHomestead]

Hey!! So I got the herb bed from a family that was making them years ago. We lined it with a window screen we had so the worms wouldn't fall out. The little box I got from home depot

[@maryasdoss9234]

Thanks so much!

[@azsunburns]

Our 105 equals a Central California 95. The small percentage difference in humidity makes the difference. Being raised in CA, CA is still very hot. We are now in Southern AZ for 15 years and our plants do best under a shade cloth or speckled shade provided by a Mesquite, Ironwood, Palo Verde, African Sumac, etc. Having a misting system also works well. Some of my best plants are from the mint family, stevia, peppers, bearded iris, canna lily & our Rosemary always thrives. We've just learned that full sun never means full sun
