Everything you need to know about you’re Herb Garden

So you want to start a Herb garden, but you don't know how? Well I'm here to tell you all about them, as well what herbs are, what kinds of herbs there are and how to care for one. An herb garden, either for culinary practices or just a hobby, is exactly what it sounds like, an indoor or outdoor garden for herbs.

Herbs are a type of plant classification that is mostly used for culinary practices or medicinal practices. The word “herb” refers to a green leafy part of a plant that is used as flavoring in food that's not a main ingredient. With that being said herbs aren't always used in the kitchen. Herbs have always for years been used for medicine and remedies. An herb is usually described as a fragrant aromatic property, for example Lavender, lavender is a light purple  flower on a green stemmed plant. It's mostly used medicinal or for its perfumey floral fragrant smell, but as medicinal you can also use it in cooking or baking. Most common herbs are leafy plants like parsley, basil, oregano, mint, and sage. But we also have herbs such as rosemary, dill, and chives. Herbs are very important to foods we all know of and love, for an example dill is mostly used in the making of pickles. Chicken or turkey for thanksgiving mostly is decorated and crafted with rosemary, sage, chives, and garlic. Or asian food, most common herbs to use is tumeric, ginger, chilies, sesame seeds, anise, clove, soy, and coriander. Or in italian cooking, basil, parsley, peppers, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and sage, though these aren't limited to types of cooking, just flavors that go well together.
All herbs can be in an outside garden or an inside garden, mostly all herbs just need moderate continuous temperatures usually around 65 to 70s fahrenheit and soil that is well draining, herbs are low maintenance, but always keep high sunlight and soil semi damp.
