rosemary grows every season…
sweet basil is Great only summer and spring
Tyhme is good for Italian cooking
Persley
Mint grows mainly summer and spring and early fall and spends EVERY where!!
parsley is a fan favorite but don’t forget the mint
Rosemary. Catnip!
I like to have:
Basil
Rosemary
Parsley
Mint
Those are what I use in most of my cooking. But don’t be afraid to try other types too! Like oregano, thyme, and tarragon.
Parsley (biennial, so plant every 2 years) is the very top of the must have list. I always plant curly and flat-leaf since the flat leaf is a slightly stronger taste for cooking and use the curly for raw.
The perennial herbs that I have include: chives, thyme, sage and oregano. There are numerous varieties and so plant more than one of each if you have the room.
Basil is an annual herb, but I always plant sweet and purple basil.
Enjoy your new herb garden!
Basil for the summer and rosemary which you can use all year. Oregano is nice too. Pesto is great.
Sage, Rosemary, Thyme, Parsely, Basil, Oregano, Pesto, etc.

Thyme, parsely, oregano, sage, mint, dill, rosemary.
