If you have the space, just about everyone grows some sort of their own food.

Even those who live in urban areas have deck, window and rooftop gardens and if you have any space at all, chances are you grow something you can eat.

Normally, what people opt to grow is traditional produce: Tomatoes, string beans, cucumbers – for consumption in the summer. They grow easily, are easy to maintain and yield a lot of product per plant.

More and more people, though, are also including a variety of herbs and if you are the least bit survival minded, you should as well.

Herbs spice up food, have nutritional benefits and in some cases, can be used to soothe burns, fight infection, protect wounds and even build your immunity system.

On the next page, we cover some of the most commonly grown herbs that just about anyone can master.
