The people that make Chia pets have also made an herb garden. Sounds kinda funny, but it’s inexpensive, and, they claim, easy to grow. It might be a good way to get started, find out what you like, then start your own window sill garden with the herbs you use most.

Right now is the perfect time to start your spring herb garden. A lot of hebs don’t hold up to the summer heat and are suitable for spring/fall gardens. For spring try oregano, parsley , garlic,chives, thyme and other cool weather herbs. For summer try basil, sage,lavender , rosemary and other herbs that will hold up to the heat and moisture. I have the best luck growing oregano and thyme in containers. In the summer move them into the shade so they don’t get burned and then put them back out in the fall.

I am in southwest Florida, and I usually wait until after the middle of february to plant new things. That gets me past the risk of a hard freeze. You have a chance of frost for a month after that, but you can cover new plants to protect them from frost. Depending on how far you are north or south of my location you can plan accordingly. That gives you time to prepare your garden for planting. Herbs do not take alot of space, so you can use part of an existing flower bed. I find that herbs do best in partial shade here in Florida. The summer sun and heat can be too much for them.
So just get started. Clear out the grass and weeds from a section of garden, till or mix in some organic matter, and get some mulch. Then you can shop for herb plants, which are readily available. Try as many types as you want. Some will do better than others.
