Question: I'm interested in starting an herb garden. What should I plant?
Start with the basics such as basil, rosemary, thyme, Italian parsley, sage and tarragon. Later you might consider adding mint, lemon basil, Thai basil, golden thyme and lemon thyme.
Experiment, try recipes that call for herbs that are new to you and see which ones you like. Purchase plants at your local nursery or start them from seeds. [Ed. note: Jekka McVicar shared inspiration for spring planting on The Splendid Table.]
