How to Grow Herbs Indoors

http://PicketFenceGreenhouse.info

Growing herbs indoors works pretty well, and you always have fresh herbs to use for cooking.

Herbs do well growing in containers and provide some good lighting , south window works well inside.

Chives and Lavender were just a few examples today on herbs being planted indoors, but really many other herb will do fine too.

I plan to grow from seed , basil, rosemary, thyme, and several more for the winter months.

Nothing better than having your own fresh cooking herbs growing indoors to use at anytime you cook.

I was wondering if one could treat potted herbs like a bonsai when in a large pot if roots get too much and space is running out, instead of looking for a ten inch from a six in or what ever largest size your growing in, take the herb out trim the roots by a third or a take of a quarter? mixing myself up here and then trim off the top and repot, would this work?

@freakygeaktwo worth a try but when I haven't actually done it it is hard for me to say what would work.. gardening experiments are fun give it a try..

I started growing basil and rosemary, they seemed to thrive in the bathroom and then they just died, i keep trying but one min they look great and then they wilt, i keep trying.

@1beverleys , I have rosemary in my patio, cool area and I keep it on the dry side seems to be working the basil I have a pot , it is surviving , watch your water, make sure gets good lighting and yes try again... that is what I would do.. :)

Thanks for your reply, i buy the plants from the supermarket and maybe i need to re-pot, i check they don't get too dry and there is light coming through the bathroom but maybe not enough.I was going to plant some in the garden today but we have freezing cold weather this evening in the UK.

@1beverleys with each try do you do anything different to keep them longer ? I find basil does not like to be moved about from spot to spot too much once they get use to a light source and are doing great keep them there and they will grow like weeds.also you'll want to do what's called succession planting as one lot dies back the next one starts up.

@dianemummvideos Thanks again for your help

@superslyfoxx1 , I haven't tried it but give it a shot.. I grow mine from seed.. which can be time consuming or find someone selling plugs already rooted .. good luck..

@dianemummvideos Oh wow..that was a quick reply. Thanks so much. So... I will give it a try. Also, this may sound kinda odd... but what about the rosemary fresh cuttings you buy from the store. Do you think they will take root? My neighborhood store sells packaged fresh rosemary.

@superslyfoxx1 , you can only try in your area, I am in the midwest and will be starting some soon for my greenhouse.. I also have one growing in my back patio that I need to harvest very soon it was left over from last season.. they take a while to grow from seed just to let you know..
