KITCHEN HERB GARDENING
Gather Your Materials
Bring a little life to your windowsill and reap the culinary rewards o f a kitchen herb garden.
Besides seeds or plants, y o u ’ll need soil, containers and
the promise o f warmth and lots o f sunlight.
Soil: The best type o f soil to use for window herbs is a mixture of
potting soil, peat moss and perlite. This mixture, or one very similar,
is available in most garden stores.
C ontainers: Plastic window boxes, clay window boxes and clay
pots of an appealing weight, size, shape and color are only a few
possibilities. Visit your local garden store for inspiration or look
around the house for unconventional containers like a retired teapot
or broken mugs. These unorthodox planters can make visually
pleasing gardens that reveal your personality. Punch drainage holes
into their bases and plant an assortment of herbs and edible flowers
such as nasturtiums.
Sunlight: All of the herbs listed above require at least four hours
of sunlight every day, so be sure you have a sunny window sill
somewhere in your home, or a fluorescent light that can be set up to
shine on the herbs for at least four hours a day.
Herbs are especially agreeable to indoor cultivation because most require p lentiful sunlight and a warm
climate. I f your kitchen isn 't the sunny place herbs demand, take a w alk around your home and decide upon
the most amenable place to start a garden grow ing, and get started!
Selection of Herbs'. A Matter of Taste
Selecting w hich herbs to grow may he the most d iffic u lt aspect o f beginning an herb garden. One way to decide
w hich herbs to grow is to consider which dishes you like to eat best and choose herbs that are integral or
complementary to those particular dishes.
