Enjoy Garden Herbs Year-Round
Like many other gardeners, I've enjoyed the convenience of stepping onto my deck to pick sage, basil, marjoram, parsley, and many other herbs throughout the summer. These herbs were a great addition to salads and entrées, and left my tastebuds humming throughout many a meal.
As the temperature drops across the country, some gardeners may have already resigned themselves to giving up their herbs until next spring.
Garden Stakes With Style
One reason I like having a garden is because it gives me another excuse to buy accessories, and lately, I've been dying to get my hands on these very stylish garden stakes. Some of them, like these Nina Gibson Designs Herb Garden Plant Markers ($20, above right), actually serve a purpose.
Others are purely decorative or unabashedly cheeky, with messages like "Grow Dammit."

I'm all for eating locally, but I don't think it gets much more local than your own backyard. I personally don't have much of a green thumb and need all the help I can get (although I actually brought an almost dead tree back to life last summer!).
