Most herbs used in cooking are relatively easy to grow. If I had to pick one... I'd say rosemary. It grows with no attention at all! Im sure there are many many more.

I have thymes, sages, oregano, tarragon, chives, and various mints that come back each year. I reseed cilantro, basil, dill, and parsley each year. I live in zone 6. I love rosemary, but it doesn't overwinter in this zone. These are some of the basic herbs for cooking that I use anyway. mitzi

I have a black thumb, and I started with mint. It's great because it refuses to die, so it gave me courage to try other things.
