Herbs & Edible Plants

Herbs & Edible Plants bring fresh flavor, fragrance, and sometimes colorful fruit right to a windowsill, patio, or garden bed. This varied group includes leafy crops such as arugula and kale, tender culinary herbs like basil and cilantro, and longer-lived plants such as bay laurel, sage, lavender, and strawberries. Many herbs grow best with bright light and well-draining soil, while tomatoes and chili peppers usually need plenty of sun and warmth to ripen their fruit. Picking leaves, stems, or ripe produce regularly can encourage many of these edible plants to keep growing.
