The International Herb Association pick for the Herb of the Year for 2010 is Dill.

Links of Interest: Links to Botanical Gardens, Arboretums, Nurseries, and Garden supplies.

Garden Events Calendar: Workshops, classes, garden shows, plant sales, etc. in and around Southern California.

Great Herbs to Plant this Summer: Most herbs can be planted year round in Southern California. Chamomile, Chives, Cilantro, Dill, Lemon Grass, Mint, Parsley, Rosemary, and Thyme are in good supply at your local nursery. You will also want to plant annuals like Basil, Calendula, Cilantro, and Dill before it gets too warm. Biennials like Parsley can also be planted annually for their foliage. Tarragon which needs a winter chill may also need to be replanted.
