Remember, its only wise to grow plants that you really need and wants for cooking your favorite food. Grow only veggies that you like most and of course climate and space wise.

Aside from this list, it's up to you to grow what you want to. As long as you like to use it for cooking. And you can add some others from flowers variety like chrysanthemums or jasmine.
