I get a version of Kim’s question below often. If you share her question, read on for some info. If you have some great input, pretty please share away. Sometimes it takes a village!
Okay Mavis, I need your help. You garden and cook and I’m just starting to dabble in both. What are the herbs you grow in your garden that you use most often in your recipes {and preferably ones I won’t kill, so they have to be kinda easy to grow!}.
Thanks,
Kim from Oregon
The easiest way to answer her question is to take a tip from Simon and Garfunkel: parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme are super easy to grow and used all the time in my kitchen {sorry if you have that song in your head all day!}. I also love growing fresh oregano and basil in my herb garden. Here are some tips to help get you started:
My Favorite Herbs for Container Gardening
Best Herbs for Companion Planting
Freeze Fresh Herbs in Olive Oil
Good luck with your garden and your venture into cooking!

I planted one hearty Oregano plant MANY years ago. It thrived!
I’ve now divided it at least 20 times and have used the cuttings over the years to create an Oregano border all around the front yard (probably 40 plants now). The bees LOVE the flowers and i love to pick handfuls to dehydrate and use all winter in cooking.
