Herbs can be a beautiful addition to your garden.
Not only are they attractive, they lend a lovely fragrance to your yard.
And of course they're useful, both for adding flavor to your cooking and for their therapeutic benefits.
There are so many different kinds of herbs to choose from.
There are edible varieties such as oregano and basil.
There are also certain plants that are used for medicinal purposes like chamomile and lavender.
The choice is up to you and your tastes.
Most herbs are easy to grow and will flourish with very little maintenance.
And there are so many varieties that you'll have no trouble finding one that will be ideal for any location in your yard.
They're perfect for a border around your flowers, nestled in a rock garden or adding variety to a container garden.
And they're so versatile.
You can grow them outside in the summer and inside in the cold months.
While the summertime is when you'll plant them outdoors, you can also grow them indoors in a sunny location all through the year.
Some people move their indoor plants outside in the warm weather to improve their yield.
Others like to get a head start on their outdoor herb garden by starting seeds inside in late winter.
Before you do this, though, make sure the varieties you choose can be transplanted without doing them any harm.
You can plant herbs in most sunny locations outside.
They'll thrive both in your vegetable garden and in a small corner of the yard.
You can plant them in neat rows or in a decorative pattern that will give your landscape an aromatic beauty.
Before you start planting, watch the intended location over a couple of days to be certain that it gets the right amount of sun.
You also need to make sure that you don't plant in a swampy location of the yard.
And keep in mind that if you plan on using your herbs for cooking, locating them near to the house will make it easier to step outdoors and snip off what you need.
Just be careful because some herbs aren't suitable for certain climates.
However, most are easy to grow and will do well in almost any zone.
But if you are wondering whether certain plants will thrive in your region, visit a local garden center to find out.
There is a wide range of herbs to choose from that are able to grow in most any surroundings.
That makes it so easy to enjoy their fresh flavor and aroma year round.
