There’s nothing nicer than being able to pluck fresh herbs from your own little garden – especially when that garden is right in your home!
Step 1: Choose your herbs
Decide which herbs you’d like to plant. Basil, cilantro, chives, marjoram, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, and thyme all grow well indoors.
Step 2: Get containers
For each herb, get a container that measures, from end to end, one-third to one-half the expected height of the grown plant. Buy ones especially made for herbs from a gardening center, or use a clean milk carton or yogurt cup; just make sure you punch a hole in the bottom for drainage.
Tip
Basil needs a large pot because of its extensive roots.
Step 3: Cover the bottom and add soil
Place pottery shards or gravel in the bottom of each container for drainage, and then put each container on a saucer. Fill the containers with planter soil, or use potting soil mixed with perlite.
Step 4: Plant your seeds
Plant the seeds according to the package’s instructions. Most should be sown close to the surface.
Step 5: Find a sunny spot
Find a spot where the plants will get a lot of sunshine. A south- or west-facing window works best.
Tip
If you don’t have a sunny window, put your herb garden under fluorescent light for 12 hours a day.
Step 6: Water carefully
Water once a week, or whenever the soil an inch down feels dry. Add enough water so that a little runs out of the hole at the bottom of the pot. Pour out any that collects in the saucer.
Step 7: Consider using starter plants
Consider growing some or all of your herbs from starter plants, which you can get from gardening centers. Some herbs, like mint, sage, thyme, and savory, take a long time to develop from seeds.
Step 8: Savor your herbs
Savor the luxury of snipping off some fresh herbs whenever you want to spice up a dish.
Did You Know?
In ancient Greece, students wore garlands of rosemary while studying for exams to help their memory. Today, it is being studied as a possible Alzheimer’s treatment.
Nice now when the 5o comes well say were growing "herbs" heh heh heh
herb*
r these herbs legal
This is an American based video channel.
So it is in my damn country, that we say "Erb"
It’s also interesting that you would bay so much attention to the H in herb if you can’t even add the "T" to your not.
yeah herbs thats it, im gonna grow weed…..uh i mean herbs *inocent smile* xD
hi everyone, can u teach me to grow "AN" herb garden indoors?? thx!
Why are you guys going crazy about "AN"
It is correct…. the use of ‘a’ over ‘an’ is based on phonetics
"an hour" not "a hour"
how often to water them?
oooh yes, Marijuana haha.
An herb?
there is nothing nicer than being able to pluck fresh weed in your own home
my point exactly…
no.
Trader Joe’s sells basil plants. Sage is the name of my pirate avatar from Pirates Of The Caribbean Online.
Haha! I was about to (jokingly) ask that. But no, you can’t. lol
You know You can Just put a Mint stem in the soil and just let it grow. Instead of buying mint seeds and waiting for so long. 😛 At my house we do this all the time. 😀
my seeds don’t come with directions. but the guy i bought it from said fluorescent lights would be best, and i should actually keep it AWAY from windows.
babe
the H is silent.
Yes, "an" herb garden is correct grammar because the ‘h’ is silent and, therefore, only the vowel is pronounced.
Great video 🙂 try on ebay if you are looking new garden stuff 🙂 look on stores.ebay.co.uk/RattanArt-Shop

KOOL NOW I CAN GROW MY OWN WEED
@kiettram4869 It’s only silent in American English. In proper English, the H is pronounced. If you’d ever left your village, you’d know that.
i would like rosemary tips. Mine died =[
Damn you loading screen 0^0
ofcourse!
I know that, but it doesn’t matter if its pronounced that way in HIS country. If I was in his country, I would still say it my way, because that’s the way we’re taught. We don’t spell "color" – "colour" (Firefox is correcting my spelling there) Just because they do it in the UK.
So its not a matter of whether or not its said differently in HIS country. This is an American video, so we’re going to say it the way Americans say it. THAT’S ALL THERE IS TO IT, GOD.
I did this in kindergarten 😀
Great info…Thanks!!
lmao ya man weed xD
LOL, I love at about 1 min and 27 sec’s into this the lady looks around like "hum, where should I put this plant?" Then she looks at her other plants and is like "oh, here is a good spot" DUH!!! Too funny!
