Starting an Herb Garden

Easiest Herbs to Grow

Basil, mint, chives, parsley, and rosemary thrive in containers with 6+ hours of sun.

Container Basics

Use pots with drainage holes. Herbs prefer drying slightly between waterings.

Harvesting Technique

Snip stems above leaf nodes to encourage bushy growth.

Preserving the Harvest

Freeze chopped herbs in olive oil ice cube trays.
