I currently grow garlic chives, oregano, & basil. Love my herbs!

My herb garden has Basils; Thai, Purple Ruffles, Globe, Genovese, a varigated sweet and lemon, too many Mints; Pineapple, Orange, Chocolate, Peppermint, Spearmint, “The Best”, Lebanese, Swiss and one really fuzzy variety that I can’t id, Oregano, Italian, Mexican and Greek, Lavender, Chives, Lemongrass, Garlic, Savory, Chervil, Flat leaf Parsley, Sage, Rosemary…..my Thyme did not do so well. I had Mother of Thyme as well as Lemon and Tri-Color.

I adore herbs and cooking with them. We love pesto around here, good thing!

I have basil and parsley growing – too herbs we use a great deal of.

I started growing tomatoes, basil and peppers and I have some mint growing that I use a lot!

I just planted some organic sage, and I already have organic basil growing. They’re so cute and useful! Where else can I find herbs like parsley and mint? Some of my grocery stores do not carry seeds right now!

I am on the Advisory Board of our Diversity Council at work. We recently got permission to start a garden club! We are growing our garden in the unused cement planters in our courtyard. One has lavender in it, and we will use other vacant planters very soon….LOVE your ideas posted here! Thank You!

The last week of May I started from seed: chives, parsley, chammmile (I love it in tea), and spearmint (for ice cubes). Usually I end up killing at least 3/4 of what I plant every year so I wish for better weather. I live in PA and the high was 51 degrees (it is June 3rd) today. Good Luch to everyone with their herb garden!

Started growing basil, chives, and oregano a couple weeks ago and they are finally big enough for use. They make a great addition to sandwiches, salads, pastas, etc. and are a healthier option than fatty salad dressings, sauces, and high sodium.

im not a gradener however i would like to start a herb graden. how can i start a small one in my house

I made a permanent raised bed with untreated wood for my perrenial herbs. My annual herbs get tucked in around my veggie plants. In the perrenial bed we have Oregano, Mint, Lemon Balm, Onion Chives, Garlic Chives, Sage, Pineapple Sage, Stevia, Sorrel, Thai Basil (annual), Catnip, Ginger, Bee Balm, Feverfew, and a few others I can’t remember. The herbs seem to do better if you keep them trimmed up, and the best way to do that is to use them!

My garden is almost full of the great plants I also love to dry them when the season is almost over for them!

We’ve finally started our garden for this year and our kids can’t wait to get out and plant.The weather around Chicago has been a bit chilly, we’re all happy to start our herbs and veggies. Happy Gardening.

you would be so amazed at how high in antioxidants oregano is..not to mention other herbs and spices…Im growing oregano, lemon balm, thyme, sweet basil and sage…loving to cook is one thing but loving to eat well is another!

Starting with lavendar, sage, rosemary, spearmint, and catnip! >^,,<

I just used the first herb from my garden today. Last years cilantro went to seed and is now growing strong. I just researched and found that cilantro likes to grow in cool weather. Who knew. Nobody was more surprised than I was to look out and see something green growing in the garden already.

I grew herbs last summer and plan to start again soon. Basil, parsley, dill, mint…simpler this year, but a little goes a long way.

I had a porch garden last year at my apt and now I have…gasp…a yard! I cant wait to get going again! It’s near March in New England and we are still getting our frosts so I’ll probably start some herbs in my kitchen in a few weeks and start growing some veggies in a lil over a month! I seriously can not wait!

once you try this, you’ll never go back. Gardening is addicting! I have a garden full of herbs and romain/broccoli/tomatoes/peppers but i’m thinking i will add carrots, too!!

I do feel like a bit of a cheat on this challenge as I already have a huge fully functional vegetable and herb garden but I couldn’t resist. There is always room for more herbs though so I will challenge myself to add to the collection. I’m building the next plot this week. Herbs rock!

I have 12 small pot of herbs in my kitchen window that are doing GREAT now i wont cook with anything other than the Herbs

I grew a full compliment of herbs outside this summer and have brought basil, parlsey and chives inside to hopefully have fresh herbs for the winter.

i just added some chives to my garden.. does anyone have some suggestions for my lavendar?

I have been freeze drying chives they look fantastic, tonight I sprinkled them in the mashed potatoes and the cheddar biscuits, I am drying basil, which I added to my grilled sandwhich for lunch, as well as lavender, and tarragon. I am digging herbs to transplant, oregano, applemint, going to make some apple mint jelly, wonderful with scones and tea in the winter. Keep growing and cooking everyone.

I live in an apartment, and my patio space is limited… i started to grow lavender and parsley this summer and it is great to start off in a window sill.I love it!

I enjoyed basil, thyme, rosemary and cilantro this summer. I grew them all in containers on my patio. The cilantro was short-lived, but I am still enjoying all the others.

I just platned an herb garden this summer and I love it! I have dill, cilantro, basil, parsley, oregano, thyme, and sage. I love the taste they add to my cooking and the garden is a nice addition to my backyard.

what is the best herbs to grow in an apartment? I am moving soon and would like to start a container garden. Thanks!

i always grow my own herbs! right now i am growing basil, thyme, oregano, cilantro, italian parsley, chives , and rosemary !

My modest ginger root is growing in the pot, soo happy because I live in an small apartment and don’t have much space.

I also have an herb garden but it probably doesn’t get near enough sun. I have basil, thyme, oregano, chocolate mint, sage, spearmint (which I have planted in the container as it is very invasive), chives, rosemary,chamomile, parsley, germander, and maybe one or two more which I can’t recall right now.

flyingwpd: I would plant anything that you think you might like. Do you drink tea? How about some nice Chamomile? There are websites out there that will tell you exactly how to turn your herbs into a delicious beverage. Chives are very easy to grow and are one of the first things to pop up, you shoudl give them a try as well. Don’t be afraid to experiment, step out of your box, you’ll have more herbs in no time at all—Good Luck!

im growing 2 kinds of parsley, basil, purple basil, dill, mint, sage, arugula, tomatoes (season is pretty much done now =( its too hot), strawberries, garlic, ginger root, and hot peppers 8) i love my garden. ive had it since january

I live in an apartment, but my basil, parsley, and chives are sprouting in the window. In fact, the basil needs repotting already.

I love fresh herbs and cooking with them. I am going to start my own little herb garden this week.

My daughter and I planted dill, sweet basil, chives, and cilantro about 2 weeks ago. So far so good….can’t wait until we can use them.

I have recently moved and am in the planning stage of my new garden. This one will be complete with a water feature as well as culinary and medicinal herbs.

I just planted my first herb garden. I have parsley, basil, thyme and lavender. I plan on adding more. If anyone has any suggesstions, I would appreciate them.

I have cheated a little. I am allergic to dirt and can’t plant in the normal way.
Some friends of mine have bought an Aero garden for me and it has 7 herbs in it. I started it 2/08/08. I enjoy waking up every day and seeing and smelling my fresh herbs in my kitchen.
Experimenting with them in cooking has been a blast! I have beem watching cooking shows and gotten bolder at trying new things.
My husband is a heart and kidney patient complicated with diabetes. Our diets are very restrictive considering my allergies. Everything has to be made from scratch. Growing my own herbs is saving me money at the grocery store and putting a lot more flavor into our lives.
The best thing, with the garden being in my kitchen, I get to see it grow daily and this gives me great satisfaction!

My garden continues to grow beautifuly! I love the smells of the fresh herbs in my cooking. They add a real body to sauces I make from scratch.

My garden is still growing wonderfully. I wish I had the money to grow other things as well as the herbs at the same time. I am looking forwarward to trying letuces and green beans. I wish I could afford more gardens!

Today I started 32 precious herbs. Has anyone had luck starting Rosemary from seed? I know they like light, but also cool nights. They are considered an evergreen in the south, I am from Michigan, they are a tender perennial here. Not had luck in the past from seed. Am I missing something?

I’ve grown herbs for the past two years. I love watching a little seedling turn into an edible full grown plant.

I have chives, lavender, cilantro, rosemary, spanish lavender. I want to plant dill, italian parsley, basil.

Just potted some garlic that had sprouted and some garlic chives. Still have parsley. Have perrenial thyme, sage, lavendar (still under a bit of snow) Almost time to start other herbs indoors.

I started growing some basil,carrots,lettuce,dill

I love fresh herbs. Once you try them you will want to grow your own.
