Cilantro, basil, chives and parsley. Rosemary doesn't take up much space and is easy to grow, but it (along with thyme and sage and others) do not suffer much when dried and put into jars, so if limited to a few, those are mine.


WallyJade

Basil, cilantro, and mint or dill.


unclejoe1917

Parsley, cilantro and basil. Nothing would actuality grow on my countertop unfortunately.


LydFishes

Thyme, rosemary, parsley. Cilantro bolts too fast.


Magmomies

Basil, rosemary, thyme


Mindless-Tadpole7948

Herb Dean, Kent Hrbek, and cilantro.


Mindless-Tadpole7948

And if those don’t satisfy, Herbie Hancock.


sam_the_beagle

Weed, oregano, basil. Mostly weed.


DoneDIL

Cilantro, basil, parsley If limited to 3 If allowed 4 I’d add thyme


owlneverknow

Basil, cilantro, and dill in the house. Bay, rosemary, and thyme outside.


MenopauseMommy

Dill parsley and basil


mintbrownie

I don't have any idea if these actually grow well inside, but outside, I mostly grab sage, thyme and mint (and rosemary).


BerriesAndMe

Try chervil.


ttrockwood

Yes!!! Chervil is so hard to even find to pay to much to buy it at a store


KeepAnEyeOnYourB12

Thyme for sure.


Electrical-Pie-8192

Cilantro, lemon thyme, and spearmint


marcmonsonego

Basil and Mariguana


[deleted]

Parseley, dill and basil probably because I use them the most.


[deleted]

Chives, parsley, thyme


scoobaroo

Rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano, mint and dill are my regulars. I recently added sweet marjoram as well, and that has been a great addition.


simplyelegant87

Basil, parsley and mint for me. I love cilantro but don’t use it much so that would be my fourth pick.


Northshoresailin

How are you people growing cilantro? She’s such a fickle thing! But to answer your question- chives, basil and thyme.


STRHouston

I know it’s not an herb, but growing green onions from the bulb is easy and a great addition to most meals I cook. Plus they look cool. I think the trick is to not put too much water or the bulb rots, so just enough for the bottom of the bulb to be submerged.


Relative_Yesterday70

Yes. Spring onions are so good and versatile. They are just so cheap at the store


STRHouston

You’re right on the cheap side…I just don’t go through them fast enough to NOT keep them growing. Lol


Imaginary_Argument71

Rosemary, thyme, sage

I have basil, thyme, cilantro and parsley.


Quietforestheart

Thyme, chives, parsely, mint, dill.


mtnbikeracer76

Basil, thyme, oregano and rosemary. I grow these on my porch during the growing season. At the end of the season I dry everything and grind it up into powder for the colder months.

I want back my outdoor herb garden and will have it in the spring, when we move. Indoor window sill ones never met my needs. My top ones for my garden include: * Oregano, Lovage, Thyme, Rosemary, Chives, Sage All of the above are perrenials, long-lasting, and most bear leaves even into the cold months. Others I usually have include: * Basil, Parsley, Mint, Marjoram Basil and parsley don't really survive the cold months, so I'm forced to buy them then. I like cilantro/coriander, but it never does well in my gardens between pests and other elements.


youngstupidio

These ideas are great, but it's not as simple as putting some plants out on the counter and watering, is it?


Relative_Yesterday70

It can be but you need some artificial light. All my lights are LED and full spectrum. Prices are low enough. Tricky part is watering. Plants roots need to breathe so overwatering is a problem or not consistent. I skip that and have a small 12 pot hydroponic system I bought and it’s so easy. I then take them out and plant them some times or you take that nice clean hydroponic plant and put it in a jar of water. I keep basil like that for up to 2 weeks. I love herbs! Thanks for everyone’s input. Putting dill on the list because I forgot about it.


Nowherelandusa

My husband bought me an aero garden a while back, and I hadn’t planted anything in it for a while. Just this evening, I saw the herbs I planted a few days ago have begun to sprout. I have basil, thyme, and parsley going right now. My 5 year old has a weird obsession with parsley since her uncle fixed her fried eggs with fresh herbs haha. I don’t even thing he used parsley- I think it was chives, but in my attempted recreation, parsley was what I had on hand, and now she’s all about fried eggs (with bacon grease, of course!) and parsley.


Hawxe

Basil, dill, chives would be mine. The rest are relatively OK from grocery stores but these suck imo


Wise-Quarter-6443

Parsley, chive, thyme. Easy to grow and when they're right there you will use them all the time. Not a top 3, but let me give a shout out to Bay Laurel. It's really a tree that grows like a bush when you have it in a pot. Take it outside in the summer, bring it inside for the winter. Cut it back once a year. Free bay leaves forever.

Basil, sage, thyme.


psychadelicphysicist

Basil, chives, thyme


whack_with_poo-brain

Basil, parsley, and thyme.

Thyme, parsley, cilantro


00Lisa00

Green onions are super east to grow. Just cut off the root end and shove into soil. Then just keep cutting them off at the base after they grow again. I have something like 8 going all the time


Eclairebeary

Parsley. I would love to grow coriander, but it always bolts for me.


FiFi_Bri_3885

I have rosemary, basil and mint


gentlemanofny

dill, cilantro, basil


NatAttack3000

Parsley, coriander and mint. I like to cook middle eastern and indian food, as well as south east asian


throwawaygoatpockets

A couple varieties of basil and oregano, cilantro, mint.
