   The plot you want to plant should be in full sun as many herbs originate in the Mediterranean region.

3. Plan out the sequence in planting process, keep records of what is planted and marking your planting with name tags.

4. Most herbs like well drained soil. Start your plant bed with a layer of gravel that will help drainage. Place your soil on top of the gravel layer and add organic compost to this. If you have a good draining soil to begin, you should be able to plant without the gravel.

5. Plant seeds early in the year as soon as the risk of last frost has passed. If you plant out too early, try covering plants with fleece to keep warm in frost.
