I am thinking of growing herbs for use in the kitchen.

I am a gardening novice and would appreciate any thoughts / advice on
which would grow well either in or outdoors. I live in N Cheshire on a
heavy clay soil with a "modern" ie smallish garden. Reasonably
sheltered though winds can be strong at times. Space might best be
described as negotiable!

See the Culinary Herbs FAQ on rec.gardens.edible, and not what Sacha
has said. As a good rule, most herbs are Mediterranean, temperate
waterside or tropical, and the three groups need different treatment.
Many make good pot plants.
