5 easy to grow herbs and plants
Here are 5 easy to grow herbs and plants that you can start indoors or outside and use in your own cooking!
1. Oregano
A recognizable herb for both its flavor and scent, oregano will grow very happily in a pot or lining a bed. At the end of summer, some variations - like Greek and Italian oregano - even flowers which makes it both a tasty and pretty addition to your kitchen garden.
2. Basil
This plant can get big because the more you harvest the more it will continue to produce. Basil will also reproduce from cuttings, so you can easily propagate more plants.
3. Green onion
Green onions can literally grow in a cup of water so there's no reason not to try out this flavorful root. I bought a few from my local grocery store, cut almost to the root, used what I wanted for that particular meal, and stuck the root in a cup of water.
4.Rosemary
Rosemary is another staple herb - especially if your big on Italian recipes in your kitchen! It can be grown from cuttings, and this post by Grow a Good Life outlines how to do so.
5. Spinach
Spinach does best in cooler climates, but can be grown just about anywhere if you planted at the right time. It's also super versatile because you can eat it raw or cooked.
If you have the space, I would also add tomatoes to this easy to grow list! But be warned - tomato plants of all types can get HUGE.
