Propagating Herbs
There are several ways of getting herbs into the garden; the choice
depends mostly upon your needs. The easiest methods are either to buy
them as small plants from the nursery or to raise them from seeds.
Planting seeds will provide you with enough herb plants not only for use
in cooking, but also for fragrant arrangements and ornament. If you need
only one or two plants for occasional kitchen use, to fill a spot in the
garden, or to decorate a container, it will probably be more convenient
to buy the small herbs that most nurseries stock during spring and
summer.
Many perennial herbs can be propagated from stem or root division so
that once these herbs are in your garden it is easy to increase your
supply.
