I?ve been thinking quite a lot lately to write a short article on herb gardening for beginners, and I was trying about what I would suggest for the 3 best herbs for while starting with an organic culinary herb garden.
It?s a tough one, so I?m going to ask for your help. There are a lot of great plants for organic herb gardening out there, so I set a few parameters to narrow it down:
Perennial. I think it?s a great idea to start with perennial herbs like basil are dill (they?re annuals where I live) are some of my favorites, which you can plant just once and harvest from, all through the year, yearly.
Easy To Grow. Rosemary is a good choice, but hard to maintain in much colder climates (it may required to be brought indoors, which can cause issues). For starters, I think you?ll need to start a few herb plants, which you can set in the ground and not be anxious about.
Often-Used. I boast a nice tarragon in my vegetable garden, but I rarely make use of it in the kitchen. I thought its good to begin with garden herbs that are used frequently in your cooking.
Easy To Find. I did not go for herbs that are seeded directly outdoors. The majority herb plants are started better inside. Instead, I selected garden herbs that you can easily stumble upon in a garden centre, which is the easiest way to start your organic herb garden.
With that, here are my 3 recommendations for herb gardening for beginners:
1. Chives. Connected to onions and garlic, chives are small bulb that you can use (above-ground leaves) in the kitchen. They are typically nice in various dishes, cooked or raw.
Once you planted the plants in the ground, you can overlook them but they?ll continue to develop in your home herb garden. They?ll self seed, too. They may be not as medicinal like the others below, but chives are excellent for digestion, can improve the appetite and used as an insect repellant. A touch of shade or full sun.
2. Oregano. A staple in sauces, we use oregano all the time ? fresh and dried. It?s often used dried in the Mediterranean.
Apparently, most dried oregano from the store is actually from others plants ? mostly Lippia and Origanum (same family, but a different plant). Great for herb gardening, as it attracts insects and has a whole whack of medicinal uses. It really helps the digestive system. Not great in medicinal quantities for my cousin Kari though (8+ months pregnant). Full sun or a touch of shade.
3. Thyme. A staple in herb gardens that is great in sauces and attracts insects. It?s mostly used in cooked foods. The oil in the leaves is an antiseptic and disinfectant.
They will be okay even if you walk on some varieties. An excellent preference for herb gardening for beginners. Requires full sun and doesn?t like wet feet.
