Q:I would like to grow some herbs in my garden. What are some that I can use in cooking?

A.G., Hialeah

A: There are several herbs that are easy to grow in South Florida. Try the following as winter annuals: basil, dill, coriander, parsley, oregano, thyme and sage. Rosemary can be grown as a perennial. You may find it easier to grow seedlings bought locally. Herbs should be planted in a sunny location either in containers or in the garden. They have many of the same cultural requirements as vegetables.
