Herbs are great value for growing at home - a small bunch of fresh cut herbs at the supermarket costs as much as a plant from a garden centre.
Spring's the best time to establish a herb patch because annual herbs grow quickly from seed, and perennial herbs happily take root from cuttings or divisions from older plants. If you haven't got space in the garden, you can have a great herb garden in pots.
All herbs do best in full sun, although they have quite difference moisture needs. Basil and mint prefer moist soil, whereas rosemary and sage hate wet feet. As a general rule, free-draining soil is a must for all Mediterranean herbs.
