How To Herb

For anyone who cooks or fancies themselves as a food enthusiast (and really, who on this beautiful planet doesn't adore delicious food?), using fresh herbs in wild abundance is non-negotiable. 

Unlike homegrown vegetables, you don't need a large plot of land, in fact, you don't need any actual land at all. A balcony is often the best location for growing fresh culinary herbs, offering shelter AND proximity to the kitchen, no barefoot dashes to the veggie patch mid-sauté.

Pots and planters give you the option of mobility, placing them in the best location year-round. Finding warm sun or cool shade won't be a problem, and with El Niño dropping by this summer, pots are also the most water-wise choice you can make.

Here are our picks for your homegrown herbs.

Our 5 tips on growing your way to SUP-HERB excellence!

1. If planting herbs in one planter, ensure you group perennials (like thyme and rosemary) and annuals (hello, basil!) in separate pots; this way, you can refresh or retire the annual's pot as it dies off and leave the perennials alone.
2. Pick herbs from the top down. 
3. Think about what you will use most and double down on those varieties.
4. Adjust your watering as the weather heats up and cools down.
5. Herbs love sun. As a general rule, the harder the herb- the more sun they require.
