Windowsill Herb Garden
Make a little herb garden and grow fresh herbs on the windowsill through the winter or all year-long. It’s easy to get started. A sunny windowsill is all you need to bring fresh basil, dill, rosemary, thyme and other herbs to your table. Keep them happy all season so you can use them for cocktails, cooking, baking and more. Have an herb garden outside? Move them inside but remember they will be in shock at the move and need to adjust. Move first to part shade. Then inside. Start new plants from plants, cuttings, or seed. Choose your small pots and start them on your window sill. Individual pots with drainage and a saucer allow you to give the plant individual care. If you want a longer tray, try to use plants with similar growth needs.
