Cottage at the Crossroads's Jane Windham helps share some of the best herbs to grow if you're a plant novice. These herbs will make your garden thrive!
You don't have to love pizza and pasta to grow basil—though it certainly doesn't hurt! The Italian staple is considered one of the most low-maintenance herbs."Basil's easy to care for and grow because it tolerates summer heat, it produces a ton of leaves, and it'll keep producing as long as you keep it pruned," saysBasil does well in a pot or the ground, but either way, it likes moist soil and requires about one inch of water per week, according to.
Basil does tend to get a bit unwieldy. Without pruning, your plant may"only have a single stem that'll grow tall and wobbly as the season progresses." To counter this, he advises gardeners to look at the main stem and find pairs of leaves growing from it. Then,"select an area that's above at least two to three pairs of leaves, and snip the main stem … The basil plant will produce new stems out of each of the joints below the cut you've made.
