Fresh herbs are easy to grow and they don't demand a special garden or bed of their own. You can slip a few basil plants among the roses or edge the front of a summer flower bed with parsley.
A new survey by the National Gardening Association shows that 43 million U.S. households plan to grow some of their own parsley, thyme, strawberries, tomatoes, beans, peppers or other crops this summer.
Challenging economic circumstances appear to have raised awareness of the value of homegrown crops. A package of basil seeds costs less than $3. You can sow the seeds right in the garden and your investment returns a flavorful profit all summer long. At a grocery store, a small plastic bag of fresh basil leaves, enough for a day or two, costs $3 to $5.
