Windowsill Herb Garden - Adding Color and Flavor To Any Window

Why Choose a Window Herb Garden

Growing your own window herb garden can be fun, rewarding and it can save you a lot of money. Most Chef’s will admit that one of the most costly ingredients on any menu are the herbs. You may only use a pinch of this and a dash of that but initially you have to buy a whole container which is not cheap.

That’s why many people choose to grow their own herbs. And not all of us have that large garden plot to grow our herbs, so many of us resort to window boxes, window sills or containers. For more informantion on Herbs and herb gardening visit Window Herbs

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.

Adding 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. Lush greens, whites and yellows and other beautiful colors is what will flourish when you start to grow your own herbs in a window herb garden. The only difficult part is actually having to grow them! For more informantion on Herbs and herb gardening click here: Windowsill Herb Garden

Getting Started

If you don’t have a green thumb and you have no idea how to grow anything at all, even weeds, then you should do a little research first. Some stores may sell pre planted herbs that all you have to do is add water to have them 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. This way you should always  have a good supply of your own flavorful herbs to use in the kitchen. They smell pretty good too!
