Herbs are so easy you dont even need a garden! Just a few in pots on the patio or windowsill will add that little extra to a dish.
Approx. 500 seeds
Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July, where they are to crop, 1.5cm (“) deep, directly into finely-prepared, moist, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Thin seedlings to 20cm (8”) apart. Water well until plants are established. Cloche protection in autumn allows winter picking.
Grow indoors all year round, sow thinly 0.5cm (“) deep, in small pots of compost. Water well and place in a warm position. A temperature of 15-20C (60-68F) is ideal. Plants can be grown on to maturity on a light windowsill. Harvest: Indoor crops all year round, outdoor crops from May. Pick a few leaves, as required, from each plant so that they regrow quickly.
Use the leaves to complement many dishes. A constituent of ‘Fines Herbes’ and ‘Bouquet Garni.’ They may be dried or frozen, but for best flavour, use fresh.
