Kitchen herb sets, from thyme to Thai basil, annuals and perennials

The organic herb seed set contains one packet of seeds per variety and lets you put together a kitchen herb patch. The set of 25 includes Genovese basil, Slow Bolting coriander, flat-leaf parsley, thyme and rosemary, and the set of 40 adds chervil, marjoram and lavender. Annuals are resown every year, while perennials last several seasons.

The box of 25 herbs covers the essentials of a kitchen patch: Genovese basil and red basil, Slow Bolting coriander, flat-leaf parsley, dill, Nelly chives, Deutscher Winter thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, tarragon and spearmint, among others. The box of 40 adds chervil, marjoram, savory, lovage, caraway, lemon balm and lavender, among others, while the basil box offers a single species in 6 varieties, from lemon basil to Thai basil.

🌿 Annuals and perennials mixed

The distinction that matters in practice is the plant's lifespan, and it determines where you plant it. Basil, coriander, dill, chervil and parsley are annuals or biennials that you resow every year, sometimes twice in a season for the first two, which quickly run to flower as soon as the heat sets in. Thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, mint and chives are perennials that stay in place for several years and fill out from one season to the next. So plant the perennials along the border or in a dedicated bed, and keep the centre of the vegetable garden, which you dig over, for the annuals.

🍃 Six basils, six uses

The basil box deserves a special mention, because the species offers far more than pesto. Genovese with large leaves remains the Italian benchmark, tender and very fragrant. Lemon basil carries a citrus note that goes well with fish and marinades. Thai basil, with purple stems and an aniseed flavour, stands up to wok cooking where Genovese loses its aroma. Purple-leaved varieties, finally, add colour to a salad without noticeably changing the taste. You grow them all in the same way and pinch them out regularly to keep them bushy.

Water the basil in the morning, at the base

A grow medium that stays waterlogged through cool nights encourages crown rot, and the plant eventually collapses. So water in the morning, at the base, and let the surface dry out between waterings. The same rule applies to coriander, whereas thyme and rosemary prefer dry soil between waterings.

A light layer of vermiculite over fine seeds

Most of these seeds are sown barely covered, sometimes simply pressed onto the surface, and watering with a jet displaces them or buries them too deep. A fine layer of natural vermiculite holds them in place while keeping the surface moist. Then mist rather than water until the plants have 2 true leaves.

Regular harvesting keeps leaf production going. Pinch stems just above a pair of leaves rather than picking leaf by leaf, and remove flower buds as soon as they appear on basil, coriander, or dill. Once a plant flowers, it stops producing tender foliage and sets seed, bringing the harvest to an end within a fortnight.

🌊 Sow in succession

These seeds are not all sown at the same time or in the same way. The finest, such as thyme, oregano or marjoram, are laid on the surface and simply pressed down, whereas coriander and dill, which are larger, are covered with half a centimetre of soil. Perennials are sown just once, in spring, and then stay in place, while annuals are sown in successive waves so that you always have young leaves to cut.

March to May

Perennials, once only: thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, chives, mint.

April to August

Annuals, every 4 to 6 weeks: basil, coriander, dill, chervil.

Parsley separately

It takes up to 3 weeks to germinate, one of the slowest in the box. Sow it first and be patient.

Potted

A 15 to 20 cm pot is sufficient for most, on a bright windowsill or a balcony.

🪴 In a pot or in aquaponics

These species are among the few in the vegetable garden that will crop as well in a pot as in open ground, provided you observe two points. The container must have generous drainage holes in the bottom, as none of these plants tolerates standing water, and the compost should stay light rather than rich: an over-fertilised grow medium produces abundant but bland foliage, since essential oils concentrate precisely in poor soils. Allow one pot per species for the perennials, which spread, and group the annuals together in a shared planter.

Basil is among the most widely grown plants in aquaponics, where it grows quickly in a bed of clay pebbles as well as on deep water culture, with modest nutrient needs; chives and mint also do very well there. You sow them in pots as you would for the garden, then set the plants in place at 2 or 3 true leaves. The article on plants to grow in aquaponics widens the choice, and the Dark Opal Basil and Common Chives pages present two of these plants sold individually.
