The Indoor Herb Garden

I love to cook! Now don’t get me wrong I use dried herbs in my dishes all the time. But there is nothing quite like the taste and smell of fresh herbs. Therefore, I am creating my own indoor herb garden. Now I tried this one other time and it worked out so well until…… I took my herbs outside over the summer and when a storm came, there went my herbs. On the plus side when I redo my herb garden this time I can share it with all of you.

When I decided to redo my herb garden I also thought I would expand it. Originally I planted the eight herbs that I use the most in cooking: Basil, Cilantro, Oregano, Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, and Thyme. I also added in Lavender which I don’t tend to cook with but I love the smell. This time I am expanding to thirty-five cooking, medicinal and tea herbs.

I am so excited to be able to go pick herbs from my own greenhouse. To be completely honest with you I don’t even know what some of these are. I am going to get these seeds going and in the meantime I’ll research how to use them. Keep following along as over the next couple weeks I’ll post updates on how my herbs are coming.
