HERBS FOR COOKING
I’ve learned that most of the herbs used in cooking are available to grow in your garden from seed or plants. Plants that are easily grown from seed include basil, dill, chives, oregano, and cilantro. Rosemary, thyme, and sage are easier to grow from plants.
Be careful to plant basil later in the spring (about the time you plant tomatoes) since they susceptible to frost. I’ve also learned by experience that if you let dill go to seed you will probably never have to re-seed.
Of course, instead of growing your herbs from seed you may purchase those plants you want to grow in your garden from a local nursery. If you lack space, herbs grow well in containers.
Drying your herbs will allow you to store and use them at a later time. It’s always nice to have your own produce on the dinner table!
