This spring, spice up your cooking, literally, with delicious herbs that are easily grown in your kitchen. Place the containers of herbs either by a window that gets plenty of sunlight, or on your counter under a grow light that can be easily installed under your cabinet.
Some herbs that are especially easy to grow indoors are:
Rosemary
Lavender
Basil
Sage
Thyme
Chives
Rosemary – Keep plant in sunlight and allow to dry out between waterings. Run a fan for a few hours a day to create a breeze. Great with chicken and potatoes.
Lavender – Thrives in warm well-drained soil and full sun. Water at the base of the plant and do not dampen the foliage. Wonderful in salads and punch.
Basil – Provide direct sunlight and warmth, and feed monthly. Excellent addition to turkey and pasta.
Sage – Needs fairly dry soil and full sun to thrive. Do not over water. Delicious in crab cakes and dressing.
Thyme – Must have full sun. Soil should not be too damp. Needs good air circulation, so run a fan a few hours a day to create a gentle breeze. Scrumptious addition to beef tenderloin and biscuits.
Chives – Soil must stay moist but be well drained. Needs full sun. Sprinkle on shrimp or mix in dip. Yummy!
So this Spring, consider creating an herb garden to put a kick in your cooking and a sweet smelling, lovely looking addition to your kitchen décor.
