Basil “Sweet Genova” – This popular strain has large, dark green leaves with a pleasant sweet flavor, and is used for flavoring many foods, especially tomatoes and peas. Both leaves and flowers are also used fresh or dried in salads. A great choice for pesto; plants grow to about 2 ft. high

Its branching stems grow to a height of 30 – 60 cm, and it blooms from early spring until frost. The orange-yellow petals of the flowers are used for medicine. Calendula has high amounts of flavonoids, plant-based antioxidants, and appears to fight inflammation, viruses, and bacteria.

Coriander / Cilantro – A a dual-purpose herb, providing both deliciously pungent leaves (what we know as Cilantro) and later, citrus-scented fruits (what we know as Coriander seeds). Cilantro grows best in full sun to light afternoon shade and well- drained, porous alkaline soil. The plants adapt well to container and windowsill culture.

Dill – Does well in the full sun or part shade. Sometimes it’s called dill weed because it comes back in the herb garden if the seeds from the previous year have fallen to the ground. It can over take an herb garden area so, you can control it by plucking out the new plants you don’t want to grow to maturity. Harvesting the dill weed tops just before the flower opens gives you the best flavor.
