Spicy herbs are used with great success in cooking. They give the dishes a delicious taste and, most importantly, aroma. In addition, their use will help reduce the use of salt and oil. In addition to a magnificent aroma, each spicy herb also has certain taste qualities. Do not forget about vitamins, minerals and other beneficial substances that they contain. Therefore, many gardeners and gardeners grow them in their personal plots and even in flower pots.
These plants can perfectly decorate any garden. In addition, freshly picked greens have useful properties.
In past centuries, there was a tradition according to which grass gardens were specially equipped. It was not only beautiful, but also practical. Some herbs are also a natural remedy (savory). They were especially actively used in China and, in general, in the East.
When planning the location of plants on a personal plot, you need to allocate a place for spicy herbs. They can be used as decorative elements. For example, carpet beds have become especially popular recently. For their arrangement, low-growing plants are used. In this case, spicy herbs are ideal.
They have different colors and textures, so you can create whole compositions. For the formation of flower beds, other plants are used in combination with herbs. For example, you can add thyme, rosemary and sage with catnip, roses or hibiscus.
If there is a pond on the site, then arrange the spicy herbs on its shore. You can complement the composition with stones and plants with long stems.
The most popular herbs are parsley, rosemary, coriander, basil, thyme. They are most often used in cooking. True gourmets greatly appreciate their taste.
Among the herbs having medicinal properties, mint, oregano, celandine, St. John's wort, chicory, marigold are distinguished. But some of them must be used with caution and in certain dosages.
There are more exotic plants. For example, lavender, limonium, brow. These herbs, combined with traditional ones, create unique aromas. They are successfully used in Provence.
When distributing plants in the garden, one must take into account their color and texture. Different shades of herbs will look more colorful. Some of them have very beautiful flowers (cucumber grass, red quinoa).
Herbs with stunted, curly leaves are used to form borders. For this, curly parsley, savory, thyme, chervil are suitable. The last plant can produce three crops per season, and only young shoots are consumed.
Annual spices are best planted on one bed (basil, dill, mustard). Some herbs are added to tea (lemon balm, oregano, mint).
The main thing is to take into account the features that each fragrant grass has when forming the beds. They must not interfere with each other's growth. Climbing plants are planted near the fence. Grasses with tall stems are planted in the background or in the center of the flowerbed so that they do not interfere with the development of undersized plants and block them.
The procedure for planting herbs is the same as when breeding flowers. Borders on such a flowerbed can be made of stones. We also need to organize paths so that there is a convenient approach to herbs. They can be laid with paving tiles. Some herbs grow to large plants. Therefore, they should be placed on the flowerbed with caution or planted separately.
In the absence of a personal plot, you can grow spicy herbs in ordinary flower pots. Especially if they do not grow very much and are a stunted rug. It is very comfortable. Fresh herbs are always at hand throughout the year. In addition, they perfectly decorate any kitchen.
