Which herbs should I choose?

Choose your herbs according to what you like to cook - fresh coriander for Indian, Thai and Korean dishes; basil, thyme and oregano for Mediterranean cuisine; rosemary and sage for warming stews and roasts; or lemon balm and mint for herbal teas. Perennial herbs like mint and rosemary will do well outside, and growing herbs indoors is easy too. Keep favourites like British Basil, Garden Mint and Flatleaf Parsley in terracotta pots on the kitchen windowsill, ready to snip and sprinkle.

Growers' tips

Most herbs are very easy to grow and care for. Most prefer sunny sheltered areas with plenty of warmth, but the more hardy perennials like rosemary and chives will thrive in partial shade and can be left outside all year round. With more vigorous growers like mint, prune it lightly every couple of months (and use the cuttings) to keep the plants producing more healthy young leaves. Watch our short video guide to create your own windowsill herb garden.

Using your herbs

Elevate every dish you cook by using freshly picked herbs - when you grow your own you can experiment a little! Try your crops in risotto, couscous salad and pesto (with classic basil or substitute your favourites), throw a sprig of rosemary on the barbecue coals or grow your own herbal tea. Why not invent your own signature salsa verde or house herb blend? To make your herbs last longer, freeze them or dry them.

When the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, water it. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away. During hot weather, outdoor herbs may require more frequent wat
