Herb Garden Plants - Don't Try to Categorise Or Define Them

Many definitions abound herb garden plants, I've seen "any utility facility, which grows in cycles per year" to "domesticated wild plants that make life easier." And this is just the beginning. The number of plants that correspond to the general description of the "weeds" seems to change all the time. Now also receives herbs "experts" who expresses an opinion on compliance of a facility may be classified as a plant or not. Absolute nonsense! The truth is that over the centuries people have noticed that some plants have culinary, aromatic or curative. These plants became the herb garden of the local community or healers. The communication and dissemination of travel became widespread, people learned that their favorite local culinary healing / / herbs were in no measure plant have only virtue. Somewhere along the way someone classified these plants useful for copying by any other name has become in the description in English of "herbs". Whatever the main reason for wanting to get their hands dirty in the garden, knowing the characteristics of various herbs added for your pleasure and focus on your choice of herbs to grow. My feeling is that any plant that benefits the user by way of exception, be included in my garden, yes, it is likely that a plant called to distinguish it from the beautiful but empty flowers grown for decoration. And yes, like the generations before me, probably feel a great affection for him of the aid or the utility it provides. In the range of kinds of plants we call herbs garden plants, there are different divisions of the type and seasonality. My bay tree 4 meters high and my lemongrass 3 meters high rightly be described as a perennial pick the leaves for cooking (bay leaves). Constantly planting cycle basil to give me a constant supply of the season, which of course means it is an annual plant. Some plants have a period of 2 years. They use their first year for growth and allows us to collect their products next year, after his death. These are the biennials. Having said all this, I touched on the subject. The theme of the types of herb garden plants is extensive, so exploring is half the fun.
