Where are we?
Annascaul is on the Dingle Peninsula.
I would like to plant a small herb garden. Id like some hardy plants that survive well without too much attention and care! Not sure if these are suitable but was thinking mint, rosemary, parsley. Id like a few more too but not sure what else might be good. Do you have some plants thatd suit and would you deliver to just outside dingle town? Thanks!
Yes Terry – no problem- minimum order €20. please go to my order page see batch deliveries. http://www.gretasherbs.com. The majority of what I grow is hardy but thymes and sage can be troublesome as they hate our wet winters. Choose a batch- study varieties on availabiliy list and email me your selection directly to gretasherbs@yahoo.com not via website. Best wishes Greta
