An Introductory Guide to Herbs in Your Garden

An Introductory Guide to Herbs in Your Garden Herb gardening is a topic that many gardeners are drawn to. Herbs are very straight forward to grow indoors or outdoors and provide near-instant satisfaction, they are used in marinades, sauces, soups and other great recipes. Though you may think you have to get out and prune regularly with an herb garden this is not true, but even better you can keep it going all 12 months long by moving your pots indoors in the fall. If you are thinking of adding perennial herbs to your back garden, you are making a good choice due to the fact they don't die easily or need replanting after every year goes by. Consider the types of flavors you prefer cooking with (and eating)when picking out herbs for your garden. Tailor your herb garden to the type of food you most frequently cook. For instance, plant cilantro if you prefer Mexican or Thai food. If you cook more Italian food, definitely plant basil, oregano, and thyme. You must determine where your herb garden will be grown in order to figure out which herbs will grow best. It will be least difficult to plant right into the ground if your climate is on the milder side, with seasons that are not extreme. It is both an attractive way to landscape your yard and an effortless option because you do not need to build or buy planters. Plants often expire or become dormant because of direct exposure to the extreme weather. As a result, many people have preferred for planters because they are flexible and practical.
