Herbs You Can Enjoy Now through Fall!

Curious what herbs you can still plant now but also enjoy along with your fall crops? Don’t worry, there are plenty of options. Herbs including lavender, lemongrass, oregano, thyme, basil, dill and more!

Not only do most of these herb’s pair well with fall crops in the culinary sense but they also can work as a companion plant, inviting beneficial insects and pollinators to your garden.
