Would herbs like rosemary, thyme, basil and bayleaf grow well in the gulf?

I live in Qatar and its very humid. I'm thinking about starting a garden but am not sure if these will grow well here.

Bayleaf is from the area, I baylieve.


Thyme is strong and loves the sun, as does rosemary.


Basil... no promises there. Can you put it in the shade perhaps? Make sure you water it enough.





For all the plants: try to shelter them from direct sunlight for a week or two, so they get a chance to settle.
Reply:I live in Central Queensland (nowhere near Qatar - I know). However, it does get very hot and humid here.





I have just started a herb garden and the Basil it is getting huge! Rosemary is okay. Have never tried bayleaf. The rosemary died within a week.





I have had success with lavendar.





I hope this helps.
Reply:The rosemary, thyme,and basil will do fine just make sure that they get the proper amount of water,and shield from the large amount of sun . The bay may be a problem. The bay leaf is the aromatic leaf of several species of the laurel family,LAURACEAE Laurus Nobilis. the bay laurel is an evergreen tree or large shrub reaching 10-18m tall.


Do evergreens grow in Qatar? This plant is native to the Med. area ,Greece and Italy, but you are a little further south .


Best of luck
