Herb Gardening

Herbs can be grown inside your home by placing them in pots or containers. You may also put them in window boxes or baskets that are hung.

Just like all plants, herbs need the basic requirements for successful growing: soil, sunlight, and water. Sunlight is important to herbs, whether they will be grown indoors or outside. Hence, you should place the herbs in the kitchen or somewhere in room that faces the south or the west to be able to acquire a great amount of sunlight. Although various herbs have different requirements for the amount of sunlight they need, usually, they all should have to have a sunny location. Nevertheless, some herb growers use “grow lamps” or fluorescent lamps to supplement the sunlight that may be lacking.

SELECTING PLANTS

Select healthy plants from your local nursery, making sure they are not too young and fragile, nor too old and root bound. Leaves should be a rich dark green and preferably plants should not yet be flowering. While the varieties available may be endless, you don’t need to be overwhelmed by this. If you are planting early in spring, go for varieties such as Rouge de Marmande, Apollo, Roma or San Marzano. These are early fruiting types that can endure the cooler mornings of early spring. You can replant other types later in the season so as to stagger tomatoes for a longer cropping period. Your nursery should have details on these tomato types.

How to Grow Herbs Indoors:
Herbs will be needing soil that is not too rich yet well drained. To make up the soil, just add two parts of a sterilizing soil containing a part of coarse sand or perlite for those herbs that are in containers. To make sure that there is good drainage, you may put an inch of gravel at the bottom part of the pot. There may also be supplements of a teaspoon of lime for every 5-inch pot to make sure that the soil turns sweet enough for the herbs. Those grown in pots will also be needing water. When the herbs are misted and when the pebbles are moist, the herbs will then be kept in humid conditions. Likewise, because they are grown inside, they should have more water as compared to those outdoors. However, just avoid the roots from getting too soggy.

Harvesting Indoor Herbs:
Use restraint when you harvest your indoor herbs. For the new growth, try to avoid taking more than half otherwise, it’s time to get another plant.

FINALLY.

Harvest ripe tomatoes as they appear and keep up maintenance of plants. A healthy tomato plant can produce throughout summer and autumn and even into winter. Planting basil and marigolds along with your tomatoes will prevent many types of bugs and diseases affecting your plants. These contain natural chemical ingredients certain bugs like aphids and thrips try to avoid
