I have a uni group project involving a public display. I suggested giving out herb cuttings under the belief that the ridiculous amount of parsley growing in my garden could be cut and divided into separate portions. Turns out apparently parsley won’t grow from cuttings so my question is:

What herbs/small plants will grow fast and easily from cuttings? The display is in two weeks so any help would be appreciated.

What types of herbs and spices should I have in my kitchen? Lately I’ve been learning to cook and have been getting better, now it’s time to expand my spices so I can cook more recipes.

Right now I currently have the following spices and herbs; salt, pepper, Italian season, oregano, cumin, parsley, cilantro, paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, seasoning salt, red chili powder, red pepper flakes, garlic powder.

I like Italian, Mexican, Chinese and anything similar. I don’t eat fish. Please give a little detail on what each spice is used for and the taste because I’m unfamiliar in how it should be used. Thank you all so much!

My sister and I want to plant a flower and herb garden. We are very big into all-natural remedies and essential oils and such so we decided to try growing our own flowers and herbs. We’ve never done this before so we need some tips on which would be the best to grow here (Beaumont, South-East Texas. Near the Gulf). The weather is humid and hot in the summer and it rains frequently. In the winter, the lowest temperatures are around 32°F or a little lower. We really want to plant lavender, but we know that it likes dry, hot weather conditions. French Lavender is what we really want to plant. Some other plants are rosemary, mint, parsley, black-eyed Susan, and perhaps some Texas Bluebonnet. So we need to know if these can grow here, and what conditions and care they would need. Thank you so much!

Is it worth buying dried parsley, basil, oregano, etc. for good health or are they just for flavour?

I have an herb garden in my yard. It was newly planted this year so I am new at this. Can I harvest the herbs now before they freeze? If I do, Do I freeze them or do I dry them and freeze them or do I dry them and place them in a jar?
I have parsley, rosemary, thyme, mint, sage, basil, lavender etc.

Thank you so much!

I have been growing things like parsley and mint in my garden – is there a way to dry them for use in the winter?
