The best herbs to grow are the ones you reach for often and can harvest a little at a time.
Grow what you use
Basil, parsley, chives, mint, rosemary, thyme, and sage all reward regular clipping and are easy to keep close to the kitchen.
Grow what fits the life you want to live—not simply what fits the space.
Match the pot to the plant
Mint wants its own container, while Mediterranean herbs prefer fast drainage and less frequent watering.
