Any well-drained soil will work, but your best bet is to grab a bag of ready-to-use planting mix. Feel free to double check with the person at the nursery, but it&#8217;s basically potting soil with benefits. And, I did say nursery. Drive the extra mile, and talk to people that just sell plants.<\/p>\n<p>I consider these herbs must-haves, but there are many more varieties you can try. I&#8217;ve done things like tarragon and cilantro in the past, and while they are a little more temperamental, they can be successfully cultivated.<\/p>\n<p>Nothing beats being able to go out into the garden, and just take a pinch of this and a pinch of that. When you consider the cost of one of these plants is just a little more than for a single bunch at the market, why not have a few pots around, even if they&#8217;re on the windowsill? I hope you plant your garden soon. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: I&#8217;m not a gardening expert, so asking me specific question about soil types and weather issues will result in many a guess. My advice would be to use this video as an inspiration, and then check out some local gardening websites.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-29-at-08-54-03-How-to-Plant-a-Culinary-Herb-Garden-DIY-Kitchen-Garden-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-29-at-08-54-03-How-to-Plant-a-Culinary-Herb-Garden-DIY-Kitchen-Garden-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-82409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-29-at-08-54-03-How-to-Plant-a-Culinary-Herb-Garden-DIY-Kitchen-Garden-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-29-at-08-54-03-How-to-Plant-a-Culinary-Herb-Garden-DIY-Kitchen-Garden-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-29-at-08-54-03-How-to-Plant-a-Culinary-Herb-Garden-DIY-Kitchen-Garden-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-29-at-08-54-03-How-to-Plant-a-Culinary-Herb-Garden-DIY-Kitchen-Garden-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Food Wishes Published 1 Jun 2015 [Note, description is from the Food Wishes blog.
