Basil
Heat loving and fragrant. Pinch flower buds to keep leaves flavorful, and harvest from the top growth to shape the plant.
Thyme
Drought tolerant; avoid overwatering. Harvest stems as needed and dry for storage.
Parsley
Biennial in many climates but behaves as annual in pots. Trim regularly for tender, tender leaves.
Rosemary
Needs good air flow and light. Stress with light pruning to encourage compact growth.
