Since you have
very limited growing space, you'll have to be fairly selective.
Think about which herbs and spices you use most frequently
and choose several of those herb plants. Some popular herbs that do
well when they are grown indoors are chives, parsley, aloe vera, and
bay trees.
 While a
patio herb garden is fairly low maintenance, you should
check the plants at least once a week to see if they need to be
watered. Don’t just pour in the water automatically, since one
of the most common problems with indoor plants is over-watering.
Instead, test the soil with your finger to see if it feels dry to
the touch.
Also, you
should plan to fertilize your herbs with special plant food
spikes during the growing season. Because the plants are in
containers, they can’t pull any more nutrients from the soil once
they’ve used what is there.
If you enjoy cooking with fresh herbs,
think about how delightful and convenient it will be to clip
the garden fresh parsley, chives,
rosemary, fennel, or sage and put them in a simmering pot just
as you need them.
For all year round cooking, dry and save the fresh herbs you
don't have an opportunity to use. Your family and friends will be envious of your
home grown herbs and spices.
Herbs will keep best in bottles of darkly colored glass,
Display them proudly on a shelf in your kitchen for all to
see. |
