Comment to win Growing and Using Herbs Successfully By Betty Jacobs
Today’s challenge: Throw away (if there are are chemical additives) or compost all of your expired herbs and spices and start an herb garden! If you already have an herb garden, add a new herb(s) this year. Herbs can be grown indoors! The video below describes how to start an indoor culinary herb garden-It covers hi-tech hydroponic to totally organic (it even covers Nasturtium one of my favorites!)- keep watching for tons of great tips!. Many culinary herbs are also medicinal!
Which herbs are you going to plant in your garden and why? Will your garden be indoors, outdoors, or both? Tell us about your plans or about your current garden!

I have gardens outside.My animals do not leave the indoor plants alone. the first thing I would plant is Sage and and rosemary! I love sage on fish. If I mix the sage and rosemary together it keeps my gray hair from coming back. I just mix the two with water, put it on my hair until it dries and rinse it out. I takes about a month but if you keep going with it, it works great! Spearmint, is another one I love, i don’t use it in cooking much, I just love the smell. Chives are a necessity, I use them in everything. Thyme and lavender would definitely be on my list because they help digestion.There are so many, I better get planning!
Our gardens are outside. We don’t really have enough light inside to grow much besides a few houseplants. We do start seedlings under grow lamps. I’ll start those in another 3 weeks or so.
Outside I have chives, oregano, catmint, apple mint, chocolate mint, comfrey, thyme, sage, etc. I’ll be planting some basil as well this year.
I am really looking forward to planting my first herb garden. I have been researching on line. Just waiting to get over a flu that I caught.
