Most used cooking herbs

[journey11]

Watch out for Oregano-it goes crazy.

You can plant it in a big pot and then plant that in the ground up to the rim. That will keep it from running.

We use chives from the garden the most . Then dill , cilantro, and thyme. Hard to beat fresh herbs from the garden...

Basil and oregano

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme (sorry - couldn't resist!). Also, Bay, Dill, Basil (Thai and Italian), Cilantro, Peppermint, Lovage, Oregano and Chives. I use them all, but frankly don't cook with Sage that much - it is such a pungent flavor. I also grow Garlic and Onions every year. The Rosemary and Bay tree come inside for the winter, but are happiest when they finally move back out to the sun, wind and rain. I'm growing some Epazote this year (an herb used in bean dishes to reduce the windiness), but I'm not sure I'll like it.

Thanks guys this gives me a pretty good idea of what to plant, Got to say I am one of the people cilantro taste like dish soap to.

I've got it growing over a 2 X 4. Love it but it is evasive.

Oregano, cilantro, then basil for me
