basil is one of the most popular herbs and every gardener should grow Basil's to add to soups salads pasta and sandwiches.
13) mint:mint is a perennial in most hot climates.mint will die back in winter and start growing again in spring and toward all summer and fall.be careful where you plant mint.mint grows like a weed. plant mint in a very confined space such as a raised bed otherwise mint will overtake your garden. I prefer to plant my mint in shade or partial shade. full Sun makes the mint leaves a bit tough.planting a sheet keeps the leaves bigger and softer.
14)parsley:parsley is another herb that does really well in summer. start parsley from seed indoors and then plant parsley outside in your garden in summer.
15)corn:most of corn is heavily genetically modified make sure you plant organic non-gmo corn seeds and plant seeds directly in your garden. corn takes about three to four months to harvest and tastes very more delicious than any store-bought corn.
