Introduction

We think herbs are wonderful! They’re great to look at, smell lovely, attract pollinators and other beneficial insects and birds like bees, hummingbirds and butterflies. Many herbs are easy to grow in the right conditions and can be harvested for culinary use. Herbs also can make a great companion plant to benefit your garden because many herbs repel pests that harm your plants. So how do you get started?

Many herbs do well with a periodic pruning and can be harvested for culinary use.

If you are looking to grow your own herbs, you will want to know how best to care for them. The good news is that many herbs do well with a periodic pruning and can be harvested for culinary use. Herbs can be harvested at different times throughout the year depending on the herb type, but in general there are three main categories of harvesting:

• Culinary – heres an example of what it looks like when i harvest my sage from my garden!
• Medicinal –
• Cosmetic –

And just because we’re talking about herbs doesn’t mean that its just for humans…they have other uses too! Some people also use them spiritually or even culturally as part of their traditions or customs.

Some herbs can be used as companion plants to benefit your garden.

Some herbs, such as basil and parsley, are known to be companion plants. Companion plants are often used to attract beneficial insects that prey on pests in your garden. For example: parsley is often planted next to tomatoes because it attracts the same kind of insects that tomato plants do. This helps reduce the amount of harmful pests who eat your vegetables and flowers!

Other herbs can help deter pests by being fragrant or unattractive to them. Rosemary can help keep bugs away from your other plants because they don’t like its strong smell; marigolds will brighten up any area but also have a strong scent which deters aphids from eating anything near them!

Regular harvesting of leaves is the best way to keep herbs blooming.

Most herbs benefit from full sun and good drainage.

• Sunlight is important to growing herbs, but you don’t want to overdo it. Plants that are exposed to too much direct sunlight will grow tall and leggy, which makes harvesting difficult. If you live in a hot climate, try planting your herbs in partial shade for best results.
• Good drainage means that the soil does not stay soggy for long periods of time. Watering is crucial for any plant, but a well-drained soil will keep water from pooling around the roots of your plants and damaging them over time. You can test whether or not your soil drains well by digging down about 8 inches (20 cm) with a trowel; if there is water at this depth after an hour or two without rain, then it’s probably not draining fast enough!

Use several varieties of herbs in your garden so that you have a continuous supply of fresh herbs at a variety of times throughout the year.

Herbs are a great way to add flavor and color to your dishes, but they can also be used for health benefits. Adding herbs to your diet is a great way to stay healthy and feel good. Some herbs have medicinal properties that can help with things like digestion, insomnia, sore throats and more.

Herbs such as basil, chives and parsley can be grown indoors during the winter months in cold regions.

Basil, chives and parsley are great herbs to grow indoors. You can either place them in a small pot or window box and place them on your kitchen windowsill. Basil needs lots of sunlight, so pick out a sunny spot for it to grow. Chives and parsley will do well without much light at all, so they can survive in less than ideal conditions. If you have no other choice but to keep your indoor herbs in the dark, then make sure that you check on them every day so that they get enough water.

If you have more space available for growing herbs indoors then consider placing them in a greenhouse or some other space where there is plenty of natural light coming through the windows during daylight hours throughout winter months as these are often used as “sacrificial plants” by homeowners who do not wish for their more expensive flowers or vegetables (such as tomatoes) growing outside during harsh weather conditions such as snowfall which may damage those items beyond repair due to exposure from frigid temperatures resulting from snow melting off roofs onto plants below causing water damage at ground level being absorbed upwards into leaves which causes irreversible damage due corrosion caused by ice crystals forming inside veins caused by condensation building up after watering sprays misting too heavily over foliage sections where humidity levels increase rapidly due moisture buildup when using sprinklers which results with increased risk factors associated with plant disease outbreaks occurring under certain conditions like these ones mentioned above if proper precautions aren’t taken beforehand such as covering up plants completely before any precipitation starts falling down upon them.”

Herbs are generally easy to grow and there are many options to choose from.

Herbs are generally easy to grow and there are many options to choose from. Herbs can be grown in your garden, on a balcony, patio or even in a pot! All you need is some good soil, water and sunshine.

Herbs are very beneficial for your health as they help to protect you against illnesses. They also add flavor to your dishes which makes them taste better and helps with digestion too!

Herbs will also support the environment by preventing excess water runoff during heavy rains or irrigation returns from the land after harvest of crops that may otherwise lead to pollution problems downstream (such as algae blooms).
