Tips on How to Grow an Herb Garden
Some people just seem to have a green thumb and a real knack for growing fresh herbs to make gourmet meals. Using herbs grown in a kitchen window can enhance any meal. Most people think that methods to grow an herb garden are complicated but in truth, they are quite easy. The great thing is that herbs don't require special soil, they can be grown throughout the year, and the garden could be grown in a window sill, this makes a great project for anyone, even apartment dwellers.
Growing an herb garden can be started with seedlings, indoors in early spring. When the weather warms up your plants will be ready to put in the ground outside. Start the herb seeds in 4 inch containers in a sunny location or in a greenhouse, if you have one. You can use a variety of containers such as flats or trays instead of the individual pots. If you plan to use old containers thoroughly clean them with one part bleach to nine parts water this will protect your herbs from any disease organisms.
When you grow a herb garden you can save space by putting three or four plants such as basil, parsley or oregano in one container. Remember to pinch off flower heads often so that the leaves will look and taste their best. This type of herb will only last a season and will need to be replanted each year. Herbs such as rosemary and lavender will grow rather large and require adequate space in your yard. These two herbs in particular will provide enough sprigs for several years. Herbs such as chives, mint or sage will come back each year with proper care. When they become leggy they will need to be cut back often to promote future growth.
If you have poor soil such as heavy clay you may want to consider growing an herb garden in a raised bed. Raised bed planter boxes can be made easily and filled with a rich soil mixture. These boxes provide great drainage that most all herbs require. Place the planter boxes in an area that receives plenty of sun, possibly even a spot near the kitchen for easy access. These planters are also great for planting and growing summer veggies or spring and
summer flowers for cutting.
As you can see, methods on how to grow an herb garden is actually relatively easy. Therefore, if you love the flavors of mint, oregano, marjoram, thyme, basil, chives, sage, tarragon, lavender, rosemary, and other herbs, this would be a great option. Without doubt, cooking with fresh herbs creates a wonderful flavor that does not come from dried herbs.
