An herb garden will save you a lot of money over the years, and will provide you with healthy seasonings for your meals. A windowsill herb garden can be grown year round. If your pantry has a window, use that. If not, choose another window or two within the home. A table set in front of any window will hold pots of herbs.
When creating your windowsill garden, keep in mind that:
-
Environmentally friendly/ low or no toxin pots can be found to start an organic garden.
-
Organic potting soil is also available.
-
Organic, heirloom seeds are not much more expensive than others.
-
The pots you use, as well as the soil and the seeds, will indicate how healthy your herbs will be.
-
You can dry herbs at home easily and stored in your pantry.
NOTE: The herbs you grow organically will be far more affordable than the herbs you purchase at the store.
ACTION STEPS:
-
Research the pots, soil and seeds you wish to use.
-
Order what you need.
-
Set up an area for your windowsill garden.
-
Happy planting!
