Welcome to The Herb Cottage-
Guest Articles

Purple Basil The Herb Cottage Website is your source for information about herb growing and gardening, with an emphasis on growing and gardening in the humid south where winters are mild and summers are very hot and humid with the occasional hurricane or drenching rain. As with many parts of the country, the weather seems to have become more extreme, and as gardeners, we have to learn to do our best to cope with the weather. We sure can't change it!!

There is so much good information about herbs being written by many, many people. Occasionally, someone contacts me with an article they would like placed on the website. I'm happy to oblige as long as I think the article is relevant, and is not an infomercial for a product, but has solid information about herbs, gardening, outdoor living and the like.

If you're a writer who would like to have a presence on The Herb Cottage website, please contact me.
