An Herb Garden On Your Table and In Your Windowsill

 

Mountain mint

If you’re looking for an herb garden that will keep you in minty fresh breath all summer long, mountain mint is a great choice! This perennial plant works well in full sun or partial shade. It prefers moist soil but tolerates drought conditions very well.

Mountain mint can be grown from seed or from cuttings. It grows rapidly and blooms early in the season, so it’s a good choice if you’re interested in having fresh herbs on your table as soon as possible.

You might have noticed that mountain mint has a “minty” scent—and rightfully so! The leaves of this herb are used to add flavor to soups, salads and desserts (think shortbread cookies).

Rosemary

Rosemary is a perennial herb that is easy to grow and maintain. Rosemary is a member of the mint family and is native to the Mediterranean region. You can grow rosemary in pots or in the ground. Rosemary can be used for cooking, medicinal purposes, tea or just for decoration.

Hop clover

Hop clover is a perennial plant native to Europe, where it grows in meadows and fields. It has yellow flowers that bloom in late spring. Hop clover has been used for its medicinal properties for centuries; the herb was commonly prescribed by doctors as an appetite stimulant and to treat digestive disorders.

If you want to grow hop clover, start by planting seeds indoors or outdoors once the weather warms up. Once they’ve sprouted, transfer your plants into pots or containers until they’re ready to be planted in your garden; you can move them into larger pots if they outgrow their starter pot any time after they reach 6 inches tall. Keep them watered during hot summers and give them plenty of sunlight so they’ll thrive throughout the year!

When it’s time to harvest hop clover, simply cut off some leaves at ground level with scissors—do not pull up entire plants from the ground because this may damage roots later on in the season (if there are any left). You can also use dried leaves for tea blends: simply put dried leaves into a tea strainer or mesh bag before brewing according to package instructions on store-bought tea bags near where our food comes from

Lavender

Lavender is a perennial herb that can be grown in pots or in the ground. It’s an aromatic herb, making it perfect for adding flavor to your dishes. You can use fresh lavender in recipes like salads and smoothies, or dried lavender flowers to make a simple syrup that you can drizzle over pancakes and ice cream. Lavender honey is also a delicious way to incorporate herbs into your diet—it has a slightly floral taste without being overpowering!

The plant itself will grow up to three feet tall with flowers ranging from purple-blue to violet-purple depending on the variety you choose (there are more than 100 varieties!) Soil preference varies based on what type of soil you have: if it’s sandy then add some compost before planting; if clay then dig up a few inches of dirt first before planting so that drainage isn’t an issue later down the line when root systems become established..

Thyme

Thyme is a Mediterranean herb that is a member of the mint family. The small leaves can be used fresh or dried and are most often used in cooking to flavor soups, stews and sauces. Thyme is a perennial herb that grows in zones 4-9, which means you can plant it year round in most parts of the country! It’s also fairly drought tolerant once established so it makes for an easy addition to your garden or windowsill planter box.

Thyme plants grow 2-3 feet tall with woody stems and bushy leaves similar to other mints like basil or oregano. They prefer full sun but will tolerate part shade if necessary as well as moist soil conditions but still need regular watering during hot weather periods (they’ll die back from drought). You’ll know when your thyme needs water because it wilts quickly after being transplanted into its new home – so keep those little guys happy!

Oregano

Oregano is a perennial herb that belongs to the mint family. It can grow up to two feet tall, but usually it’s kept shorter by pruning. This herb is an excellent source of vitamins A, C and K. Oregano also contains iron and calcium which are great for maintaining healthy bones and teeth as well as cardiovascular health.

When you’re ready to start growing oregano yourself, choose a spot with plenty of sun exposure so that it can get enough light during its growing season (late spring through early fall). If possible, choose an area that has been amended with compost or other organic matter so that there’s more nutrients for your plant. Finally don’t forget about the soil! Make sure it’s well draining so that water doesn’t pool around base of the plant leading to root rot if possible add some sand or gravel at bottom of hole before adding dirt to make sure drainage works quickly

Sage

Sage is a perennial herb that grows well in the ground, but can also be grown indoors. It’s easy to take care of and will last for years if you treat it right. Sage can be used in cooking, tea, health remedies and even skin treatments!

Parsley

Parsley is a great herb. It’s a good thing, too, because it’s pretty much the only one you can grow that doesn’t need to be planted in the ground. You can grow parsley in your windowsill or on any tabletop surface and harvest it all year long.

Parsley is used for garnishing salads, soups and stews (especially egg-based sauces like hollandaise). It also has some medicinal qualities; its name comes from the Greek word meaning “to break wind,” which refers to its ability to clear out gas build-up in your digestive tract.

Cilantro

Cilantro is the seed of the coriander plant and is used in cooking all over the world. It’s often called Chinese parsley because it is an essential ingredient in many Asian dishes. Cilantro has a distinct flavor that some people describe as reminiscent of pine, citrus or mint (or even soap). If you’re one of these people, don’t be afraid to plant some cilantro! The herb has a lot of health benefits including being rich in vitamin C and antioxidants.

Basil

Basil is one of the most popular herbs. It is commonly used in recipes, and is easy to grow. Basil can be dried, frozen and preserved in oil (for example, by making pesto) or used fresh.

Dill

Dill is an herb that is used in many dishes, from soups and salads to fish dishes. If you’re looking for a way to add some flavor to your meals, try adding dill!

Start with a handful of washed dill weed

Dill weed can be found in most grocery stores or markets. It should be stored in an airtight container away from sunlight or moisture as it will lose its flavor if kept too long without proper care.

Herbs are full of flavor and they’re easy to grow all year long.

Herbs are great for cooking, but they can also be used in your garden as well. If you have a small space in your yard, like a window box, herbs will do well there as well because they don’t require a lot of space or direct sunlight to thrive.
