5 Herbs you can plant once

 Perennial herbs you can plant once

Without spending tons of money and time planting new plants each season, perennial herbs are a great way to continue your supply of fresh herbs. With proper care and cultivation, these ten trouble-free herbs will thrive in the years to come.

1. Lavender

Developing Tips:

Plant lavender in full sun in well-drained soil. It does not like to have too much moisture, so let the soil dry before deep watering.

Harvest:

It is best to harvest lavender as soon as the buds have formed, but before the flowers are fully open. This will allow you to get the optimal color and aroma from your plants. Grab large bunches of lavender stems near the base and cut with sharp scissors. Tie the bundle together and hang upside down in a warm dry place away from direct sunlight. After about 2-4 weeks, the lavender is ready to use. Shake the flowers and leaves gently and place them in an airtight jar.

uses:

Fresh or dried lavender can be used as a vibrant and delicious garnish in many dishes, including homemade ice cream, bread, and salads. To enhance the quality of sleep, take dry lavender from a breathable cloth and place it under your pillow. Mix the lavender, peppermint essential oil, and water in a spray bottle and spray the freshening room.

2. Coriander

Developing Tips:

Plant coriander in full sun in well-drained, moist soil. Pinch an inch from the top of your young coriander plants, thus enhancing leaf growth.

Harvest:

Unlike lavender, coriander is not desirable once dried and begins to lose flavor immediately after harvest. Throughout the growing season, cut off the new growth from the top of the plant and apply immediately.

uses:

Fresh coriander is wonderful in a variety of salsas. Stir in the mango salsa a little. Add coriander, butter, and lemon juice and use as a tasty addition to delicious coriander butter-cooked vegetables. Put some coriander stalks in your olive oil to create a delicious infusion for meats or salads.

3. Oregano

Developing Tips:

Oregano makes a wonderful supplement to any vegetable and can be planted in your vegetable garden without taking it away. Plant in full sunlight in well-drained soil. Organize frequently to encourage full growth.

Harvest:

Harvest as flower buds form to get a rich flavor. Cut just above the bunch of leaves with sharp scissors or scissors. Tie the bundles together and leave them to dry in a dark, dry place. Once the stems are dry, wrap the bundles loosely in a perforated paper bag to prevent dust collection and leaf residue.

uses:

Oregano is one of the most versatile cooking herbs and is a must-have for any sauces or homemade pizza. Plant oregano as ashore in vegetable gardens - especially cabbage family crops - to attract pollination and promote healthy plant growth.

4. Small onion

Developing Tips:

Before planting, keep in mind that onions spread quickly if left to seed. Plant in fertile, fertile, moist, and well-drained soil in an area that receives full sun. You may have to work on some organic matter like compost to correct the soil.

Harvest:

Harvest 60 days after sowing. Leave the plant no more than 1-2 inches from the soil and chop the leaves back. Freeze the onion in an airtight bag or use it fresh. Harvest 3-4 times in the first year and monthly in subsequent growing seasons.

uses:

Sprinkle fresh onions over the boiled potatoes. Add to an omelet or other egg dishes. Use as a fragrant garnish for fish.

5. Rosemary

Developing Tips:

Rosemary is incredibly hard but does well in well-drained, sandy soils in full sun. Be sure to give your rosemary plants more space to spread their roots as they will grow quickly to 4 'tall and 4' wide. Prune regularly and water deeply, but do not keep the soil too wet.

Harvest:

Once installed, trim the rosemary once a week and apply fresh clippings immediately. Cutting 2 or 3 inches at a time will ensure healthy new growth and contribute to the whole plant. If you want to dry this herb, wait until it starts to bloom and use the same lavender drying method listed above.

uses:

Rosemary infused oil on potatoes or fried vegetables The batter is delicious. Put some stalks in your oil bottle and let it sit. Use fresh rosemary to make tea and help boost your cognitive performance and focus.
