Easy Herbs for Beginners
These easy-to-grow herbs require minimal maintenance and aren’t too picky about soil. They just want sunlight and regular water to thrive.
How to Grow Easy-Care Herbs
Check the requirements for each herb you plant. Some cannot tolerate any frost, while others are hardier. Some are annuals, and others reseed and come back year after year. Most have similar water requirements and tolerate poor soil. You can get transplants from a garden store or nursery, but growing easy herbs from seed is also doable. Follow planting directions and water your herbs regularly if it doesn’t rain. Make sure they have good drainage, as the plants won’t tolerate standing water or soggy roots. They’ll also need a sunny spot, with several hours of direct light per day. Even as a beginner gardener, you can’t go wrong with most herbs. They grow readily even in poor conditions, and have few pests and diseases. Experiment with different herbs and varieties until you find what you like best.
