Aromatic herbs, most often in dried form, are a must-have in every tasty kitchen. They add a unique, deeper flavor to both dishes and drinks. Due to the simple cultivation, you can grow your favorite herbs even in a pot on the windowsill. If you have a garden, it would be a sin not to plant at least a few varieties in it. Especially since some of them are perennial and extremely easy to grow.
How to care for herbs for the garden? Choose a good position
You can grow herbs directly in the ground or in specially prepared pots. This gives you many opportunities to arrange the area in an interesting way, and its scent will also repel mosquitoes (including mint, lemon balm, rosemary, basil). Regardless of the variety, they do not have many requirements, and they also look great compared to other plants. The most important thing is to provide them with a sunny position (the only exception is mint, which prefers delicate shade), otherwise they will not want to grow. The soil itself does not have to be particularly fertile, but of course it is worth including, for example, compost. When it comes to care, remember to weed and water. Which herbs to choose?

What herbs to grow in the garden? Choose the most popular varieties
The most popular one is certainly refreshing and fragrant mint. When it blooms, it is covered with tiny purple-pink flowers. You can make a health infusion from it or add it to lemonade. The garden is also a must-have oregano and basil, which add extraordinary taste and aroma to the dish. They grow well in dry and sunny places. They are used in both meat and vegetarian dishes, and especially in Italian cuisine. There is nothing better than pizza or pasta with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy your meal!
Herbs for the garden save money. These don’t require much attention
Of course, these are not the only herbs that are worth planting in the garden because of their smell, taste and unusual aroma. In addition to them, it is good to also include:
- lemon balm with a delicate lemon scent, perfect for brewing a calming tea,
- parsley, but remember that it needs regular watering,
- chamomile is perfect for stomach problems,
- marjoram, which grows really quickly in a sunny position,
- savory, which supports digestion and adds extraordinary flavor to dishes,
- sage with medicinal properties, which is ideal for meat, fish and sauces,
- rosemary – you can use it not only in the kitchen, but also in care, although remember that it should be sown in containers and only then transferred to the ground.
