Choosing Herbs to Grow in Containers
Basil - this tender annual is not tolerant of chilling or freezing temperatures. Basil prefers a sheltered, warm environment. Transplants are stated 4 to 6 weeks early, and put into the garden when temperatures have warmed. Over fifty different cultivars of basil are available, but start with Sweet Basil or one of the purple cultivars like purple Ruffles or Dark Opal. As you gain familiarity with this herb, experiment with the many other cultivars available. Freeze basil rather than dry it. as the flavour is far superior when frozen. Basil is one of the basic ingredients in pesto, and is always combined with tomatoes as the flavours compliment each other. Egg. pasta and mushroom dishes, and soups benefit from the addition of basil. |
| Sage - This is not the same sage found growing wild in Saskatchewan. The culinary sage is closely related to salvia, a common flowering annual. Although perennial in habit, sage is usually treated as an annual in our climate. This silvery leaves herb is easy to grow, producing a large yield per area. Leaves can be harvested fresh during the year, or the leaves can be frozen or dried for storage, Seeds are best started indoors 4 to 6 weeks early. The flavour of sage is strong, so a small amount is sufficient for most dishes. Try using sage with meat, poultry, fish and cheese dishes. Sage can also be included in baked goods |

Thyme - no herb garden would be complete without this low growing perennial herb. Numerous cultivars of thyme are available, and all require a good snow cover and somewhat sheltered location of they are to survive the winter. Garden thyme and Lemon thyme are the two most commonly grown cultivars. Seeds are extremely small and should be started indoors 4 to 6 weeks early. Transplants are small and weak, requiring some protection and care until they establish, Thyme is a basic in most French and Italian cooling, especially in meat dishes. Tomatoes and other vegetables are complimented by the flavour of thyme. Thyme can easily be dried and stored for later use, Traditionally a large patch is recommended, as thyme is a very versatile herb. |
| Sweet marjoram - this tender perennial is treated like an annual in our climate. Marjoram is a tender, aromatic herb growing only to 30 cm tall. Germination is slow and somewhat difficult. Seeds should be started indoors 4 to 6 weeks before transplanting to the garden. Marjoram is a strong aromatic and culinary herb, therefore a little goes a long way, Being a close relative to oregano, marjoram can be used any where oregano can be used. Marjoram is used fresh, but dries well. Pot-pourri containing marjoram will add a pleasant aroma to the home year round. |
| Cilantro/Coriander - Grows well in sunny locations with rich, well-drained soil. Sow seeds in the spring. The leaves are known as cilantro while the seeds are called coriander. A hardy plant, this herb has a pungent taste that isn't for everyone. Popular in Thai and Mexican cooking. Annual |
| Myrtle - Requires a sunny garden spot and well-drained soil to thrive. Often propagated from cuttings. Myrtle is a tender plant and is often grown in containers. Its fragrant leaves are used in potpourri and herb sachets. Perennial. |
