Mint can also be grown at home in a pot, so it doesn’t take over your garden. It’s great in tea as well as in drinks like mojitos.
Dill
This herb is another great addition to grow at home. In addition to its use in Eastern European and Middle Eastern cuisine, it also produces delicate yellow flowers.
Basil
