Default Re: Herb garden ideas

Some that have been easy to grow from seed for me include parsley, cilantro, basil and oregano. I also have rosemary and sage, but those I bought as plants.

If you plant in containers, make sure to water regularly. Also, you don't want your plants to "bolt" or flower - once they do, they're on their way to going to seed and being done for. (Unless you want to collect their seeds - I've done this with cilantro and gotten tons of coriander seeds.) If you plant mint, do it in a container, as it is really invasive. (Of course, you can plant it in the ground if you don't mind it spreading all over.)

What herbs do you like to cook with? I'd let that be your guide if you don't have a lot of room to plant lots of different things.
