Culinary herbs can be used to make all our cooking more delicious and they're wonderful for the yard.
Herbs can be loosely grouped into cool season annuals and warm season annuals. Annuals live for a single season then die.
What we're planting now are cool season annuals, which grow through the winter, get harvested in spring, and then die in the summer.
This is also a good time of year to plant perennial herbs.
