Window Herb Garden

What is a Window Box Herb Garden

If you want to grow your own herbs, a window herb garden can be fun and rewarding and save you money. Any professional chef or even part time, for fun chefs can tell you that the most costly ingredients in any dish are the herbs. Even though you’ll only use a pinch of this herb or a dash of that herb, buying the entire container of herbs adds up to one hefty grocery bill.

It is a very good reason to grow your own herbs and why most people do. Not everyone has the luxury of having a plot of land in order to grow regular herbs, Chinese herbs or any other types of herbs, so many have to resort to growing them right in their windows.

Window herb gardens require only a pot to put the herbs in, of course the seeds, some fertilizer or just plain dirt, some water and a lot of love and attention. It is not that difficult to grow herbs. Provided they are not neglected too often, watered when they appear a little dry and given lots of sunshine in a bright window, you will find that they flourish quite easily without much effort.

Providing Color

The best part about having a window herb garden, except for the fact that you’ll have a healthy supply of herbs for all your cooking needs, is that you will add color to your windows. Beautiful greens and whites, some yellows and other lush colors is what you get when you finally successfully grow all your own herbs in your window herb garden. First, however, you actually have to grow them! For more informantion on Herbs and herb gardening click here: Window Herb Garden

Getting Started

If you’re not a green fingered person and you can’t even tell the difference between a plant and a weed, then its best to do a little background research first. Most garden stores will have stock of window herb garden kits or pre planted herbs that just need water to get them to grow. But it is always a good idea to surf the net for ideas and information on growing your favorite herbs in your own window herb garden.

Then, all you’ll need is a pot or a trough, some soil, some herb seeds, water and sunlight. Once completed you can sit back and watch your herbs grow in your window herb garden. You’ll always have a healthy supply of your favorite herbs so that no matter what herbs you need to cook with, you’ll always have them – and they smell good too!
