A new season means new windowsill experiments. Over the winter, I thoroughly read some excellent books on caring for an indoor garden and realized—I can’t resist sharing the experience I’ve gained with you!!
So, let’s start from the beginning.
We don’t have our own plot of land, and it’s clear that growing cucumbers and tomatoes on a balcony in sufficient volume isn’t feasible… And at home, there are, at best, four or five windowsills. So, does that mean we have to deprive ourselves of the joy of gardening and enjoying its fruits? Let’s grow herbs! Rosemary , thyme , lavender , marjoram , bay , tarragon , oregano , sage , ginger , cress salad , cilantro , chives , savory , hyssop , arugula —let’s grow a pot of our favorite spices and fully stock our table with seasonings and herbs.
Growing a windowsill herb garden isn’t labor-intensive and brings a lot of joy—herbs grow quickly, delight with their blooms and aromas, and rarely get sick. By following a few simple rules, your efforts will definitely be rewarded.
