An Intro to Herbs in The Garden
An Intro to Herbs in The Garden Many gardeners are pulled to herbs because they can use them in so many varied recipes. These plants are easy to grow and have the appeal of instant gratification, as they can be used in soups, marinades, and other recipes. Though you may presume you have to get out and prune every day with an herb garden this is not accurate, but even better you can keep it going all year long by moving your pots inside in the fall. It is often sensible to allow perennial herbs to comprise the bulk of your garden, as these will not die and require replanting at the end of the year. Consider the varieties of flavors you prefer cooking with (and eating)when picking out herbs for your garden. Basil, oregano, and thyme are great herbs to plant if you really enjoy cooking and eating Italian food. If you prefer Latin themed food, you may select to plant cilantro instead. Where you put your herb garden will define which herbs can grow there. If you live in a mild climate it may be better to plant right into the ground due to the warmer winters and cool summer seasons.
