Spring is in the air, and it is time to start thinking about your home herb garden. We have compiled some of our favorite, beginner friendly herbs to begin with!
- Mint: Mint is happiest in the shade. To prevent it from smothering your other herbs, plant mint in a pot by itself. Mint is a perennial which means it will come back every year! Use sliced mint leaves as a garnish, mix sprigs with spring peas, or even steep them in tea or lemonade.
- Basil: By mid-July, your basil should be big and prolific. Harvest early and often and cut the flowers off to produce more leaves. Basil goes well with just about anything: rounding out sauces, soups, salads, even pizza!
- Rosemary: Rosemary is easy, but a slow grower and thrives year-round. Mature plants enjoy full sun and well-drained soil. Steep in hot water for 10 minutes to make a soothing tea.
