Hi All,

What are your favorite herbs to cook with and which are your favorite herbs to grow?

Every year, I grow:

Lemon Grass
Basil (at least 3 types, cinnamon basil is a yearly must).
Thyme
Rosemary
Stevia (which usually dies in the Sacramento heat)

Herbs that I cook with but don't grow:

Mexican Oregano (my uncle grows and he shares his with me).

Bay leaves (my uncle grows and he shares his with me).

Cinnamon, cilantro, cumin and the other spices that are my cooking staples are easier to purchase than grow.
