Herbs are easy to grow in containers or a garden, and fresh herbs are a great way to spice up your cooking in the kitchen. Herbs to consider growing include rosemary, sage, basil, and mint. Growing herbs can also keep animals like deer away from your yard, due to their strong aromatic smell.

• Lots of sun.
• Good drainage to keep the soil from staying soggy.
• Lean soil that isn’t packed with fertilizer.
