Tips On Getting The Easiest Herbs For Your Garden

If you're just starting out in herb gardening for the first time

, you might not be sure which herbs are best for your garden. Well, there are many herbs for you to select from; but there are some which can be somewhat more difficult to grow. Following are a number of great herbs that you can easily grow, whether or not you're a beginner.

Basil: This is a popular herb for Italian cooking and can easily be grown indoors or out. It does not take long for basil to mature and the leaves can even be eaten raw. It does well in many places, but to get the best flavor, it needs to have conditions that are hot and dry. The soil should be very rich and somewhat moist and it should be planted in full sun. In between waterings, basil requires time to dry out.

Cilantro: Cilantro is used in many Spanish dishes and has a distinct flavor. This is an annual herb that grows well both in the shade and the sun. You'll find that it is quite easy to care for and it will grow in practically any sort of conditions.

Oregano: This herb is extremely popular, and it complements many different kinds of foods. It is widely used in tomato-based pasta, chicken, and pork dishes. Hardy in zones 5-9, oregano grows well in raised beds, rock gardens, alongside roads or pathways, or just about anywhere! It requires full sun and well-drained soil, yet it actually does better in poor, rocky soil!

Parsley: Parsley is a fairly hardy annual in zones 2-11. Both flat-leaf and curly varieties are easy to tend and grow very well without all sorts of extra care. It can do well in full sun to light shade, and needs rich soil that is well-drained but moist. It doesn't do especially well in heat.

Thyme: Thyme is a perennial herb. It is hardy in zones 4-6. It's a compact, shrub-like herb that requires full sun and moist, well-drained soil. It is quite hardy in its standard zones, and doesn't require much care at all.

When choosing herbs, be mindful of which zones they are suitable for. Even though most of these herbs are hardy, they do much better when kept to their hardiness zones. The herbs listed here are going to be very easy to look after, and shouldn't need a great deal of extra effort to tend.
