A garden for grilling and BBQ – Reddit Post

We live in Texas, zone 9a I think, so it is difficult to garden in the summer. Fortunately we have had success with culinary herbs, which are great for landscaping and cooking, particularly grilling and BBQ. Here are some of the plants we grow and use in our cooking. See if you can spot them in the photos.

lemongrass (stir fry, fish) marjoram (so, so good) rosemary (wonderful on chicken and steaks) bay laurel (stocks and soups) multiple types of thyme (❤️) Winter savory chile pequin (the only chile native to Texas, tiny but hot!) culinary sage oregano Mexican mint marigold (similar to tarragon) parsley (for chimichuri, chicken soup, etc.) dill (great for fish) various basils various mints epazote (traditional Mexican seasoning for beans) garlic chives

Besides cooking with fresh herbs, we make our own dried herbs. The last photo has bay leaves, dill seed, dried marjoram, chile pequin, and “Simon and Garfunkle” seasoning of parsely, sage, rosemary, and thyme.

Good luck with your gardens!
