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!

Any thoughts??

Thanks

Neil

All I can add to the thoughts of the congegation is that a lot of these
plants
like Sage, Thymes in bewildering variety, Chives, Rosemary, Oregano, Fennel
etc............ are very respectable ornamentals and will not look out of
place
in your flower borders.

Sorry for piggybacking on someone else's post, aohell playing silly beggars
again.

If you can trackdown a copy of this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...683577-1569417

It's called "the herb garden; month by month" and is ideal for the beginner
setting out. It is out of print sadly, but if you can get a copy from your
local library or find a second hand copy floating around it is well worth it.
