Growing An Indoor Herb Garden Is Easy

Instead of planting a big outdoor herb garden consider
planting one indoors. Many smaller varieties and dwarf
varieties of herbs grow quite well in small pots that can be
placed on a kitchen window sill. Now when you are cooking
you do not have to run to your outside garden to pick a few
herbs to add to your cooking. You can just simply turnaround
and grab a few leaves!

It's easy to grow your own indoor herb garden. Many kits are
available that have everything that you need to get started.
Look for the chia herb garden which is a fun way to get the
kids involved too. You can enjoy the same benefits that you
would outside, but with a few distinct advantages with an
indoor herb garden.

Advantages Of An Indoor Herb Garden

Monitoring your plants with an indoor herb garden is easy.
If they need any maintenance you will notice quickly. If
they need a quick misting you can accomplish the task with
little effort. Outdoor gardens are more frequently
overlooked. You will not have issues with bugs eating the
leaves of your herbs indoors. You will not have to contend
with trying to find a safe chemical that can be used to
treat your herbs to keep bugs away.

When it is time to harvest all of your fresh herbs you can
do it within the comfort of your own home. You will not have
to deal with mosquitoes or other bugs while you are trying
to garden.

When you plant an indoor herb garden you can bring in the
wonderful fragrance that they provide. Now your kitchen will
smell delicious like fresh basil or rosemary. Being
surrounded by the fragrances of an indoor herb garden might
even inspire your cooking. Any meals you do cook will now
taste even better as you will be able to add fresh herbs
instead of dried herbs that have been sitting in a cabinet.

Having an indoor herb garden will also protect any other
plants that might be in your garden. Known to be extremely
invasive are some species of herbs. Once they start growing
they are hard to stop and before you know it your herb
garden has taken over. By planting your herbs in small
individual pots inside you can control its spreading.

Plants can make indoor spaces feel warm and cozy. Why not
add a few practical plants to your kitchen to achieve the
same result. You can generate an inviting atmosphere while
growing herbs to use in your cooking.
