Not only is it incredibly easy to grow from seed, but there are also many interesting varieties to choose from that you won&#8217;t find in your local grocery store. Its compact shape is perfect for containers, growing indoors or out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite use for basil is in a classic pesto paired with olive oil, nuts, and a little salt and pepper. But it has a long list of uses\u2014pizzas, garnishing salads and soups, or flavoring delicious pasta sauces. Frequent harvesting <strong>encourages bushier growth,<\/strong> so don&#8217;t be shy when you&#8217;re picking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/start-seeds-indoors\/\">Start seeds indoors<\/a> about 4 to 6 weeks before your last frost.

If you&#8217;re one of the people who loves cilantro and can&#8217;t get enough, ensure you have a consistent supply by growing your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This herb is the perfect complement to spicy dishes. I often pair it with chopped mint to add flavor to fresh salads. At the end of the season, you can also let the flowers go to seed to collect for new plantings or use in the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since cilantro <strong>bolts in heat,<\/strong> it\u2019s best sown in the cooler parts of the year. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/start-seeds-outdoors\/\">Direct sow seeds<\/a> in early spring as soon as you can work the soil, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/seed-starting-beginner-guide\/\">sow into a container indoors<\/a> and move the pot outdoors when temperatures rise.

If you only think of it as an insignificant green garnish, growing your own will definitely change your mind.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the kitchen, parsley adds a <strong>mild but noticeable earthy flavor<\/strong> to many dishes. If you want the parsley flavor to be the hero, chop up a few handfuls and fry with garlic and olive oil to make a fresh pasta dish. Otherwise, add it to soups, blend it into sauces, or sprinkle it on roasted vegetables. In the garden, parsley attracts beneficial insects, helping the rest of your plants too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Direct sow 4 to 6 weeks before last frost when the soil temperature is 50\u00ba\u201385\u00baF.

If you&#8217;re feeling adventurous, it makes a good low-maintenance hedge in coastal gardens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just one sprig of rosemary is enough to flavor grilled meats or homemade breads. It may take a while for them to become bushy when growing from seed, but once established, you&#8217;ll be harvesting frequently year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because rosemary <strong>germinates slowly,<\/strong> start seeds indoors 10 to 12 weeks before your last frost and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.botanicalinterests.com\/community\/blog\/seed-starting-101\/\">provide consistent warmth<\/a>.

Its growth habit suits low-growing paths and raised beds, or you can grow in containers on a sunny windowsill indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oregano has no doubt earned its place in classic tomato sauces, salads, and grilled dishes. <strong>Paired with other fresh herbs<\/strong> like basil, it&#8217;s perfect on pizzas or to mimic pizza flavor in other dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start seeds indoors about 6 to 8 weeks before frost, as the optimal soil temperature for germination is 70\u00b0\u201378\u00b0F.

Ancient Greeks associated it with happiness, and it\u2019s easy to see why\u2014its soft green leaves and mild fragrance are wonderful no matter where they are planted.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marjoram\u2019s mild taste is a perfect match for homemade salad dressings or light sauces. It pairs well with acidic veggies like tomatoes. Add to that its pollinator-friendly blooms, and marjoram becomes impossible not to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like oregano, sow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before your last frost. The<strong> seeds are very small,<\/strong> so be careful when you&#8217;re opening the seed packet.

But once you start using them, it&#8217;s hard to stop.

It\u2019s often used with beans. Winter savory is described as similar to marjoram and thyme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sow both types 8 to 10 weeks before your average last frost date.
