Growing Culinary Herbs

Growing culinary herbs in your own garden is a great way to have fresh herbs that you can use fresh, dried, or frozen

There are certain herbs that even the most inexperienced gardener may grow for cooking with success.

Herbs like cilantro, rosemary, sage, thyme, parsley, grown outside in your own garden are miles better than store bought herbs.

Lets not forget sweet basil which is so great in basil pesto recipes like this one.

There are so many possibilities for wonderful, fragrant gardens using herbs too.

We love our potager garden pictured below.

• An all white herb garden that illuminates your garden space at night. Use whitish/grey herbs like artimesia, lambs ear, grey santolina, and lunaria (money plant.)


• A garden with a monochromatic color scheme like all yellow herbs such as yarrow.
• An herb garden just for the honeybees using all there favorites like anise hyssop, chives, thyme, lavender and mints.
• A garden of just salvias for the hummingbirds
• A garden for butterflies using host plants like parsley and fennel for the monarchs
• Don't forget about growing herbs indoors! Products like the Aerogrow system make it so simple. Wouldn't it be cool to serve your friends fresh pesto or hot mint tea in the middle of winter?
• Herb gardens in containers are really popular these days too. Growing culinary herbs in pots on your deck is convenient which means you'll use them more as you prepare your favorite dishes.

Whether you love herbs for their use in cooking, aromatherapy or for crafting, you will enjoy hours of fun growing herbs for culinary purposes both inside or outside you home.
