How to Grow Allotment Herbs

Now your herb garden is ready to sow.  While the winter is still in full swing you have got time to begin planning the herb garden varieties of your choice.  It's nice to experiment but here is a list of some of the types which will thrive well in the British weather.

Basil, Tarragon, Chervill, Chives, Coriander (my absolute favorite), Thyme, Lovage, Fennel
Rosemary, Dill, Parsley, Bay, Lemon Balm

You can, of course, buy young plants that have been raised in the garden centre, but there is a great deal more pleasure to be derived from taking your plants from seedlings you have propogated yourself and, it goes without saying, it is by far the cheaper option.
