Fresh herbs are convenient for cooking and also easy for even the most novice of gardeners. But with so many varieties, how does one go about choosing what herbs to plant – and when?

As annuals, basil, dill and cilantro bloom just once and are best planted in the spring when the chance of frost has passed. Biennials, such as parsley and caraway, live for two seasons but only bloom during the second season, so plant them in the fall for them to flourish the following spring. Perennials, on the other hand, bloom each season once established and include chives, mint, tarragon and thyme. (Related: Herb Gardens Grow Great Ingredients)

Frequent cuttings are required with most herbs to keep the plants fresh and enhance growth.
