Herbs

grow tarragon and forget all those other pleb tier "herbs"

you can grow cucumbers if you have room and use the dill in cucumber salad.

basil is good in salads as an accent, as is mint.

chives are basically mild green onions so they'd probably work in a salad as well

do yourself a favor and don't mix them all into a salad unless you like torturing yourself

Is there an herb garden infographic or a recommended book, wiki, etc? I started an herb garden a few months back, but my basil and cilantro both died fairly quickly. I don't know if it's due to too much/too little water/sunlight, or maybe some other factor

What a stupid fucking set up. You've clearly never grown anything, if that even is your set up. Within two weeks whichever herb grows fastest will have completely taken over that pot, which is suitable for ONE of those plants.

Step your horticultural game the FUCK up before you waste my time with these Rachel Ray-tier half-assed meme shits again.

I commend you for your garden. Fresh is best and it's super cool one hobby is feeding the next. Have you thought of using a dehydrated to preserve excess?

Then provide a resource to learn more as >>8477375 requested

Its gonna be mint.

I hope you quarantined the mint in its own space.

I love using parsley in a salad. I definitely don't suggest using a bunch of herbs together though as >>8476346 said.

No, I haven't, but thanks for the suggestion.

Stupid question, but how and where on the plant do I snip my herbs, and how frequently should I be doing it?

If it's leaves, snip at the base where the leaf meets the stem. If you need a whole stem of something, cut it at a "node" (like pic related), that way the plant will have an easier time healing/regrowing.

As for how frequently to "harvest," it's a good idea to leave at least 1/3 - 1/4 of the green/leaf matter.

It's not super important how you cut from each stem, but try to cut from only one stem at a time if only using a few leaves (or remove entire "branches" altogether): this will make it easier for the plant to heal.

Also, don't over-water: the soil should be allowed to dry out from time to time, as constantly "soaked" soil can lead to root-rot. (This is all general horticulture stuff, not specific to herbs)

no thyme. shame. damn shame op.

Kek, that mint is going to destroy everything except maybe the dill and chives within a matter of days.

>>8476327
Is that your picture OP?

Each of those should be in a pot that size all to their own. As it is they'll either all be dead in 2 weeks or that mint will take over.

There's too many competing plants for any one of them to grow large enough to be used on the regular. I have my rosemary plant growing in a pot that's about that size and even then it's not really big enough. I plan to move it to a really big pot or just go for gold and put it in the ground once it gets bigger.

tl;dr pinterest-tier herb gardens are a meme and don't actually produce enough herbs for consistent use
