I'm about 1300 kms from the equator and have only the two seasons. Wet and dry. Does anyone know of any good web sites I could look at. I always seem to end up at sites for the wiccan, and I really don't want to cast spells with herbs.

I am from the Philippines and also plants some herbs for the kitchen and medicinal purposes. I believe that with proper know how and loving care you can grow herbs. Plant them in clay pots with well drained soil. A sunny but shaded area is best spot for herbs like parsley, basil and mint. Oregano, rosemary and other medicinal herbs loves to be kissed by the sun. Don't forget natural organic fertilizer or compost soil. Search for organic gardening web sites they have a lot of ideas to share too. Good Luck!
