Lemon grass is easy,I started with a stalk from some I bought for a Thai recipe. Basil is probably my favorite and cilantro is wonderful. Mint can be used for so many things. Parsley,Sage,thyme,rosemary. Oregano. Lavender. I grow many types of basil which is also a huge bee attractant. I also grow several types of mints. I'm going to start growing lavender varieties to bloom in succession. They are another bee favorite and one of my favorite herbs for aroma.
Get real adventurous and try ginger and turmeric,which both can be grown from grocery store rhizomes and do well in pots. Also horseradish.
Really,I couldn't be without a lot of herbs,I simply love them. I may try cumin this year.
Oh,dill,fennel and anise!
