Tasty Tuesday: Growing your own herb garden

Day 1 of growing herbs

Day 7 of growing herbs

I have always wanted to grow my own herbs from basil to lavender I love to cook with fresh herbs.  So, I decided in 2010 it was my goal to grow as much as I could in my apartment.  I went Walmart to purchase herbs while they are cheap.  Yes, go to your local Walmart and spend like $10 on all kinds of herbs at $1 a packet.  I purchased Italian Flat leaf Parsley, Basil, Cilantro/Coriander, Dill, Sage, Thyme, Lavender, and Chives.  I know you are like she is crazy all of those herbs.  But, fresh herbs add so much more flavor to your food and are very healthy for you.  I purchased this 74 pod also from Walmart which was $5 that I added 6-7 seeds per pod.  This case acts like an indoor greenhouse and I only watered once a week and got this growth in 7 days.  When the herbs grow out of the greenhouse I will be moving them to small pots outside on my balcony and will update you on that process.

Don't be scared to grow your own herbs, start here then you can move to growing peppers, tomatoes, and even strawberries :0)

Keep the Faith!

Until next time,
