In many gardens, not only flowers sprout, vegetables and fruit are also grown and of course herbs. Herbs are a real change in the (commercial) garden.
Herbs are usually very easy to care for
Who doesn't like to eat fresh basil on a tomato slice or fresh dill in a fish sauce? The advantage of herbs is, on the one hand, that they require little space and, on the other hand, that they are often very easy to care for. For example, you can let them grow in small plant pots on the window sill, within easy reach of the kitchen.
Many herbs last for many years if you pay attention to a few important points. We would like to introduce you to some herbs for perennial sowing:
- Oregano: Is very robust and resilient, likes it warm and sunny
- Peppermint: Should be contained as it is rampant. Can be propagated by stolons
- Basil: Needs a sunny spot, only needs to be watered once a week.
- Sage: Likes the sun, warmth and well-drained soil
- Tarragon: Is largely undemanding, can be propagated by division
- Savory: Grows particularly well in the rock garden, likes well-drained soil
- Lovage: Also called maggi herb (because of the smell), is undemanding and grows up to 1.5 meters high
- Rosemary: Likes a warm spot and well drained soil
- Thyme: Plant early in a warm, well-drained location and do not cut too late
