I am so excited I found your video! I live in Tucson and love to grow herbs. Now that i am retired I want to get more serious. Our heat can be brutal, but your video is proof that it is possible to grow more than a few. Thank you for the tips.

I really dont do herbs but I do love the smell of them even the rosemary, since my name is rosemary lol !😂

When you grow them in containers you can even grow them in a cooler climate.

🌿I add herbs to smoothies, pasta, soups, stir fries, other dishes, & teas.😋😊

Your bay laurel!! Green with envy. I'll come and make you some soup.

I used to live in Pennsylvania and now I live in Mesa, Arizona! I live on Lindsey and Baseline, it's exciting to learn from someone who lives in the same climate and even same town as me. I was so used to gardening in Arizona that it was shocking to me when I first moved here 2 years ago. Now I'm excited to keep learning!

Lemon verbena and Vietnamese coriander (Ram Rao) is my favourite herb combination. I use it in everything possible! 😀

I love herbs! Love the name, forever herbs.

I love this video and so happy you did one specifically for herbs. Thank you!

[barbmills]

I don’t know what t do with half of these herbs unfortunately. I still growing them though.

I would add winter savory to the list. It holds up through the summer heat better than the more delicate thyme. Sadly my sage always crumples when the monsoon season arrives. :(

[Sisteryoda]

If grown in a container, what should the soil look like? More cactus-y or just regular potting soil?
Thanks for the great tutorial, and very timely too!

[eleanorerosanova]

Thank you for these helpful tips. I would really like to know how you amend your soil.

My poor thyme plant did not survive this summer in Houston Tx. It basically turned to ash. It was very sad. I have bought a new one and will try and baby it more. Hopefully next summer won't be *quite* as bad! The oregano did just fine, though; I've got a big batch in the dehydrator right now.

[slporter]

I would like to learn about cover crops.

[ddgardner]

Rosemary grows well in my hot and humid climate. I was surprised by how easy it roots, too.

Are you still in zone 9b according to the new, updated USDA zone map?

[denisekalt]

Great video! I’ve started growing more herbs and most survived this past brutal summer in raised beds in Glendale 9b also.
I’m interested in learning how to dry the herbs successfully without a dehydrator. Do you have any videos on this?
Add marjoram to the list! Like oregano, won’t quit!! I’m envious of your bay leaf plant too!

[michellewelch]

Lavender struggles in my zone 9b garden in central California. adding compost is my favorite! Where do I find Lemon Grass?

[simplyimpish]

I’m in vail At 9a and get snow and freezing winters
Will the bay leaf be ok to overwinter outside?
I’ve been bringing the pots inside for winter

Hi Angela,
I live in Buckeye AZ.
Is it better to plant herbs in containers or directly in ground? 🍃
