Really the best way to grow annual herbs in NL is in containers. Examples of annual herbs are basil, cilantro, fennel, dill and parsley. Though these annuals can be grown directly in northern garden soil, they tend to prefer the slightly warmer temperatures which a container can provide.

Baby leaf harvests are ready in as little as 21 days. I sow succession plantings of lettuce about every three weeks outside in the gardens during warm months, inside in pots throughout the winter, and eat homegrown lettuce all year long. [...] |
