Indoor Herb Garden - Grow Your Own Herbs

By Jon Kryer

Indoor herb garden is a nice way to grow your own herbs, replacing the need to buy the freeze dried herbs you normally get from your supermarket.

When you grow your own herbs, the ingredients are always fresh and you know if there have been any insecticides, fungicides and any other chemicals on your indoor herb garden.

When you consider the herbs you buy from your local food store, you don’t know what kind of chemicals have been used to get the product you have in your hand. If the label on the packet states its certified organic, then it is chemical free. Otherwise all manner of chemicals may have been used to grow your herbs.

My first indoor herb garden

This is why I set up my first indoor herb garden. I just don’t like the idea of chemicals spoiling the taste of the herbs that I will use in my cooking.

Gardening is not something that comes easy to me. You see, I am much better at killing plants than at keeping them alive.

If they ever start a business for plant assassins, I am the man. All I have to do is try to take care of a plant for a week, and it is dead within a day.

Nonetheless, I have been trying to grow an indoor herb garden for the past several months, and have finally met with a bit of success.

It was not natural to me, but I am so glad that I have done it. It is one of the most rewarding projects I have ever undertaken.

I would not have come up with the idea of indoor herb gardening except for a friend who is an amazing chef.

I thought I was a decent cook, but my food tastes are bland compared to hers. One night, she had me over for dinner. After a particularly excellent feast, I asked what her secret was.

Herbs have delicious fragrances

She told me that it was her indoor herb garden. She showed be some of her herbs, and let me smell them. They had delicious fragrances. There is no comparison between them and the freeze dried herbs that I used.

Unfortunately, I had no idea how to grow a garden. She gave me some advice, but it didn’t really help that much.

I followed all of her watering advice, I kept the plants that were supposed to be in the shade in the shade, and the plants that were supposed to be in the sun in the sun.

Persistence is rewarded

Nevertheless, my indoor herb garden was not coming along. It took me months and months to figure it out, and by then anyone else would have given up.

I am more persistent than most, however. When I decided to have an indoor herb garden, I would have an indoor herb garden, come hell or high water.

Finally, my efforts paid off. I cooked my first meal with indoor garden herbs yesterday. It was Rosemary chicken, and it was absolutely delicious.

I put a sprig of thyme in the potatoes, cooked the chicken with the rosemary, and even made a salad complete with sage and lavender. Indoor herb gardens are the most rewarding gardening project.

There are many plants that look beautiful, but how many plants also taste beautiful?

Especially when you can grow your own herbs in a controlled environment like a greenhouse.

In a greenhouse you can control the heat and moisture around your indoor herb garden. It may be raining outside but your herbs only get their water from your controlled water supply so that they don’t get too much water.

And they don’t get exhausted in the summer sun when you can control the amount of heat coming into the greenhouse.
