No reason to feel intimidated if you’re a novice gardener, or just new to herbs. Herbs are ideal for beginners and also for gardeners who are new to our climate. You can learn the essentials here.
Since it’s easy to grow herbs, you can try varieties you’ve never used. No need to buy a $9 bottle of dried whatever just to learn you aren’t in love with the taste. On the other hand, you might discover that you do love the flavor of fresh chervil. Or tarragon. Think of all the new recipes you can create.
Go wild in the kitchen in other ways, too. For example, you could stuff your turkey with whole garlic cloves and handfuls of fresh herbs – any combination of rosemary, thyme, oregano, and/or marjoram according to your preference. You can still serve “stuffing.” Just bake it in the oven (and be sure to use a recipe that calls for your own DIY herbs).
And when spring and summer roll around again, you can use your herbs to wow your family and friends with amazing warm-weather beverages, too.
