How to care for fresh herbs that I'm growing?

Usually basic watering. If in pots and the sun gets too hot, move pots or an old umbrella makes great shading. To keep from getting too leggy, trim/clip from the center and they will bush out more. Also, if growing faster than you can use them in cooking, clip a small bunch and take in the house and put in small vase/jar. Smells wonderful in the kitchen.

I've had good luck growing herbs outside with very little work. Mostly I just trim them if I'm not already using enough and they grow. I have mine planted in areas that are not direct sun and drain well.

Mint, oregano, and a few others will spread all over and take over so keep an eye on them. I know grow all mine in pots for that reason. Herbs don't take much care, just make sure they get water as needed and trimming. A lot of them seem to not want much care, just water and weeding.

All easy to grow without much tending to. If you have excess, you can dry and save for use at a later date. I grow a lot extra just for this purpose, and dry between layers of cheesecloth naturally or if you have a dehydrator, that will work well too. Then I place in tins or bottles and give as gifts to people who love to cook and bake.
