What Kinds of Herbs Should you Grow?
Herbs are a great way to add flavor to your food. Fresh herbs will add even more taste, and the best way to have the freshest, most delicious herbs possible is to grow them yourself. You can grow herbs indoors or outdoors. I prefer growing them indoors because I can put them right in my kitchen and have them fresh and ready whenever I need them all year round. If you have a window in your kitchen, you have a perfect place to have herbs get lots of sun and grow right in front of your cooking.
When it’s time to start planting and you begin your garden, you fall upon an important question. What kind of herbs should you grow? Should you grow a large variety of many different kinds or just one or two kinds? Which herbs will grow the best? This depends on several factors that need to be taken into account.
How much space do you have and what kinds of pots and planters are you using? If you only have space for a couple of plants, you should only grow the herbs you will use the most. If you have pots, you can put one type of herb in each. If you have boxes, you will need to be careful to space different herb plants far enough apart.
What kind of herbs do you like? The best way to decide what herbs to grow is to think about what herbs you like best and which ones you use the most often. If you love to use parsley in your sauces, grow parsley. If you are thinking about growing thyme because it looks pretty but you know you’ll never use it, don’t grow it. Only grow herbs that you’ll use on a regular basis. If you grow herbs you rarely use, the plants will die before they are picked, or you will end up picking them to keep it growing, but throwing the out after they have sat and wilted in your fridge.
You grow herbs to use them, not just to enjoy their pretty leaves and fragrance. Grow the herbs you love and will enjoy most. By only growing the ones you will use and enjoy more, you can save space. If there are herbs you have always wanted to try, grow them and if you don’t like them you can replace them with something else. Take care of them and they will keep growing giving you fresh herbs for years to come.
