I have lemon mint, orange mint, and oregano.....I want to add more to it....I dont really use herbs much, but would like to start.......I dont really know how to explain the garden....but here is a picture of it.....I definately want cilantro in there..........like was there at this time....but, I want to ask what is the best time to plant it so it is ready for salsa canning? My other question is how do you keep it from getting out of control? I originally planted on the edge of the upper bed, but it is now spreading like wildfire to the lower bed and back farther into the upper bed..........any help will be fantastic......thanks
