i live in (northern) california. Frost is not the danger...it is the heat... although it is "cooling off" here.

Early fall or spring is a good time to plant herbs. Herbs like cilantro are sensitive to heat so in your area early spring is great they will die back in heat.Basil is an annual which means it will last one season and will not come back. Mints, oregano, thyme, lavender,rosemary all will thrive where you live. Herbs generally like average soil (sandy, not enriched soil). Also most herbs are much easier to start from small plants-( in homes humidity is a real problem when using seeds). Your in a great area for growing-Enjoy and Good Luck!

If you have the space, Anytime. I have a working herb garden in and around by kitchen. Some are hanging planters and some are in my window box in separate pots. One of my favorites in a clay pot designed for growing strawberries. It has little "pockets" spaced around the outside of the pot at different levels. I have chives, dill, parsley and mint growing together in that one. If you find that you have times that you use less of any particular herb, keep culling them regularly to keep them healthy and growing. If you can't use them right away, you can dry them by tying them in bunches and hanging them upside down(maybe over the stove, but someplace dry and well vented for air flow.) You can also dry them out in low heat in the oven. Once dried you can store them in clean spice jars( baby food jars also work well). They can also make a savory potpourri.

Start them inside somewhere anytime if you plant seeds. When they are stronger as seedlings then transplant after danger of frost is passed.

Any time, as long as they have light indoors. Outside, as soon as there is no danger of frost.
Of course, there's no reason you can't get a bed ready for them in the fall.
