Herb Garden For Kitchen Window

Herb garden for kitchen window - if you're a dedicated cook then this will be an essential.

The books all say to grow your herbs as close to the house as you can - so that you can cut and use them quickly.

You can't get much closer than a herb garden on your kitchen windowsill.

You'll have to decide which herbs you need the most - how long is a piece of string? How wide is your kitchen window? What do you cook most?

Look at the top three to five herbs that you use most often and grow those indoors all year round.

Basil is a good herb to grow - it's a mainstay for culinary use and it keeps flies away - good old basil...

I have a metal tray with three metal containers on it - in those I grow basil, parsley and sage - the three herbs that I use the most.

I cook a lot of pasta with tomato sauces (basil) use parsley in sauces and scattered over a lot of things (it's the taste of summer) and sage leaves to make stuffing regularly - at least twice a week with roast chicken or pork joints or steaks.

Coriander is a good choice if you cook Asian food regularly and chives are another good choice as their delicate onion flavour doesn't overpower other foods.

The link below will lead you to the pages about growing the individual herbs and there is a section about growing indoors on each page.

I like growing herbs indoors - it's good for the winter, when it's dark or raining and cold - it means you can use them easily, so it makes sense to grow the herbs you use the most and as many as you have room for in your indoor herb garden.
