Create your own herb garden
A dedicated herb garden can be as simple or as ambitious as you like. If space is limited, group several pots together near the kitchen door so fresh herbs are always within easy reach. Have a larger garden? Create a dedicated herb bed and combine different varieties to produce an attractive, fragrant and productive part of your outdoor space.
Before sowing, always check the instructions on the seed packet, as different herbs have different requirements. Some can be sown directly outdoors when conditions are suitable, while others benefit from being started somewhere warm and protected before being moved outside.
Tips for growing herbs from seed
Growing herbs from seed is suitable for beginners and experienced gardeners alike. Give your seedlings a great start with these simple tips:
- Choose a bright position with plenty of natural light.
- Use good-quality compost and containers with adequate drainage.
- Follow the recommended sowing depth and timings on your seed packet.
- Keep the compost moist while seeds germinate, but avoid overwatering.
- Thin or transplant seedlings when necessary to give them enough room to develop.
- Harvest herbs regularly once established to encourage plenty of fresh growth.
Try growing several varieties and you’ll soon have a fantastic selection of flavours ready to pick whenever your recipes need them. Growing from seed also gives you the opportunity to sow little and often, helping you enjoy fresh herbs over a longer period.
From garden to kitchen
Your home-grown herbs can become some of the hardest-working plants in your garden. Fresh basil can transform a simple tomato salad, rosemary and sage add wonderful flavour to savoury dishes, while mint is perfect for drinks, desserts and summer recipes. Herbs such as borage can even bring beautiful flowers to your growing space.
Growing your own also means you can simply pick what you need rather than buying a whole packet of fresh herbs from the supermarket. Whether you’re an enthusiastic home cook or simply love the idea of growing something you can eat, herb seeds are a great place to start.
