Annual with small pointed clove-scented leaves, needing a sunny spot in the garden, greenhouse or on a windowsill. Useful in tomato, cheese and vegetable dishes, salads and pizzas. Sow outdoors, April-May.

Herbs are a welcome addition to any garden, but they will grow with equal success in pots on sunny windowsills and tubs on warm patios. Experiment with nutritious, health-giving herbs in your kitchen, adding interesting tastes to hot/cold dishes.
