You live in the perfect climate as many of the herbs we all know and love come from the hot, humid Mediterranean area. If you can grow Basil year round, that's where I would start. Rosemary, sage, thyme, oregano and of course lavender. They like soil more on the sandy side. Not sure how they would do under hydroponics, but it's certainly worth a try! Tarragon is wonderful and of course, cilantro and dill. The lists are endless. If you plan to sell fresh herbs to the local restaurants, (a very profitable business) stop by several and ask to speak to the chef. Tell him or her of your plans and ask them which fresh herbs they use on a daily basis, or which herbs they'd like to have fresh but can't get. Then you've got a niche if you can provide those herbs. Best of luck to you in your endeavors!
