Which three herbs?

[Sossusvlei]

I’ve been given a lovely planter with three pots. I’m going to have it in my kitchen for fresh herbs. Which three herbs would you choose? 🪴 🪴🪴

Basil, coriander and more coriander.

Basil, chives, coriander

Parsley, basil, mint

Basil, oregano, thyme

I find basil and coriander quite difficult to grow tbh. I’d go for mint, thyme and rosemary.

Three varieties of thyme. Your kitchen will smell glorious.

The ones that don’t survive year-round outside! Basil coriander and parsley! (Assuming you are in the UK.)

If if you plant mint and 2 other herbs you’ll end up with mint mint and mint.

Basil, mint and thyme

Lovely thread op!
Basil, rosemary, oregano.

Thyme, rosemary and basil

Basil, parsley and chives

This is true.

I never manage to keep basil alive for long, even indoors on a warm windowsill and cosseted, and rosemary is happy outdoors, so probably different types of thyme? Have never grown coriander, admittedly.

Oooh lots of replies! A lot of love for coriander - I think I’d use it a lot BUT a pp said it’s hard to grow. Maybe I’ll have a go.
I have loads of rosemary outside and also a pot of chives already (although I’m very lazy about actually going out to get some).

Confession - I hardly ever use thyme except for with roast lamb. What else should I be using it for?!

I think I’m set on basil and coriander but still debating The Third Herb…

I'd choose the ones I'd use a lot. For me that's chives, basil and coriander. Buy a supermarket plant and drastically thin it out and then they can last for ages.

Chives! And ditch the coriander for sage or parsley!!!

Chives are useful for adding an onion flavour without going to the trouble of chopping an onion!

Not if they're in pots.

Depends what you'd use. I have no idea when I would use sage or parsley. I use basil in Italian stuff and anything with tomatoes, and coriander in Mexican or Thai food.

Coriander tends to go very 'leggy' quickly ime.

Chives a good call. Easy to grow.

This. Except parsley is native and hardy, it's just short lived (like foxgloves it's biennial). What about chillies?

Chives, lovage and dill.
