    Default Fresh Herbs, yay!

    I decided to try growing fresh herbs and I noticed yesterday that they started coming up. Anyone else growing herbs and what kind are you having luck with?

    My purple basil doesn't look that great, but I also have cilantro, culantro, mint, basil and Italian parsley that are doing well. Fresh herbs are the best!

    basil, parsley and cilantro here. the only one giving me a hard time is the parsley, it gets nice and strong and tall and then turns yellow on me.

    I would like to try to grow herbs in the future. This year, I concentrating on my vegetable garden.
    Do you plant your herbs outdoors, or a window?

    I grow basil. I love fresh basil leaves in my pasta. There's no substitute.

    Mine grow outside. I have purple basil coming back up - it reseeds itself
    Thyme and chives looking great.
    Rosemary just starting.
    I also have mint and lemon balm - which look real pretty right now
    May do savory again this year - it's great in soup beans

    I planted some mint, oregano, and basil. I have a giant rosemary plant that I have had for years. I have some lemon balm that has spread and is up.

    I'm using an AeroGarden to grow Italian Basil, Purple Basil, Chives, Dill, Thyme, Parsley, and Mint and I've already had to freeze a whole bunch since it is growing faster than I can use it. Hard to get used to having all that fresh herbs just for the clipping.

    I've also started from seed a Burpee hybrid Jalapeno Pepper that has less heat and can be grown in a pot.

    I have garlic chives and I have divided these several times, I just purchased onion chives and have already divided them.I just purchased a bay tree-for bay leaf and it seems to be doing ok. I started basil and cilantro from seed and they are coming up in an herb pot. I have sage (green, purple and purple and white)and rosemary. I have parsley and thyme in another pot. I just bought dill seed-10 cents at walmart . I did not know if there is any difference in basil and sweet basil?Is the thyme a perennial or does it reseed itself?

    I'm off to a slow start. Does anyone know a good source for plants that are already started? WlMart carrys them here, but theirs always die. Is it too late to start from seed?

    Just went to Home Depot today and bought, rosemary, sage, basil, parsley, and mint. Will be growing from seed chives, cilantro, oregano, and dill. Forgot thyme so will probably end up buying that. Really enjoy fresh herbs, they even seem better dried.
