Hmong Herbs
For the special Hmong herbs. The reason why they are special is that these herbs are not native to the area that I live in. Some adapted and some have not. Most of the transplants and cuttings root better when it’s cooler and colder. These are planted in containers.
Also, plant your vegetables with their companions so they all thrive together. For warm season, peppers!
For a more detailed on what and when to plant check my warm and cool seasons here.

Hey Kelyee,
Thanks for compiling this list. I didn’t expect a huge variety of vegetables, herbs and flowers we can grow in any one season. That’s a lot especially the vegetables. My hands and mini yard will be full, and dinner table too. Next thing to do is check out those seeds. Thanks again. Sharon
Hi Sharon,
Yeah, I didn’t know I could grow so many vegetables either until I started keeping track of what I grew and compared it with my community here.
Happy planting.
