Re: easy herbs to grow
mint and sage are pretty easy...
the trick is to read about what the specific plant needs from its environment and make that happen.Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of HistoryPagan Devotionals, because the wind and the rain is our Bible

Re: easy herbs to grow
You know what, I'm really awful at growing plants, too... so I started foraging for herbs and such instead. Not an option for everyone, I know, but it might be something to consider. As far as growing herbs, I did have a lot of luck with basil, garlic, and chives. They were all very easy to grow.

I have never been across the way
Seen the desert and the birds
You cut your hair short
Like a shush to an insult
The world had been yelling
Since the day you were born
Revolting with anger
While it smiled like it was cute
That everything was shit.

Re: easy herbs to grow
Mint, Thyme, Lemon balm and sage are all very hardy and difficult to kill. Just make sure not to over water sage and they're decently hard to kill. Really anything in the mint family is a good beginner plant. Mint and Lemon balm are both in the mint family and they can actually spread fairly fast if they're not paid attention to.Circe

Re: easy herbs to grow
Don't plant mint directly in the garden, if you're in a damp climate - you'll never get rid of it.
2/3 of my lawn is mint. If smells spiffy when I mow.

Oh yeah...
