Easiest Herbs for Beginners
Dreaming of fresh herbs at your fingertips? These five herbs are super simple to grow, even for first-timers or those with just a small windowsill.
1. Basil
A must for sunny spots, basil grows quickly and loves regular picking.
Care:
Pinch back tips, keep moist, and don’t let it flower for best leaf production.
2. Chives
Chives are almost unkillable and thrive in pots or garden beds.
Care:
Snip leaves often for new growth and water moderately.
3. Mint
Mint is vigorous and perfect for pots (it spreads rapidly in the ground).
Care:
Likes moist soil and partial shade or sun. Cut back hard to encourage lush regrowth.
4. Parsley
Parsley might start slow but it rewards you with months of harvest.
Care:
Keep soil moist, in partial or full sun, and pick outer stems first.
5. Thyme
Thyme is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, with a rich scent.
Care:
Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Trim after flowering.
Pro Tip:
All these herbs excel indoors or out. Place on a sunny windowsill or balcony for fresh flavor all year round!
