Easygoing herbs do best in full sun
Most herbs require full sun for at least six hours a day; a somewhat protected
area from our strong winds; a fertile, well drained soil; and a water source.
They';ll need supplemental watering for an optimum harvest. If you figure
you can provide these necessities, then decide whether to grow your herbs in
containers, a separate garden plot, or tucked in among your flowers or vegetables.
All methods will work.
