Starting An Herb Garden For Beginners-

For those that may be new to gardening an Herb Garden is a really satisfying way to make you feel like a gardening pro in no time. I am going to post more than one link to read through. We will cover starting an Herb garden from seed, starting an Herb garden in containers indoors, and growing an Herb garden outside with live plants. Herbs love a sunny spot where they can stretch out and grow. A nice window shelf indoors works wonders and a nice pot out on a sunny patio does great as well. You don't need to have tons of space to grow one of these herb gardens. You will find yourself snipping a few leaves off every time you cook. Fresh herbs are wonderful in sauces, soups, roasted chicken, and many more recipes. Use your imagination. The one tip I will give you is that Herbs are used before they bolt (i.e. Before they flower). You want to use the tender leaves of your Herb plants for best results in terms of flavor. Once a plant flowers it can change the flavor. So don't worry about clipping off leaves on a regular basis. You will get the best results from your plants. If you would like to save the seeds from a particular plant? allow it to flower/go to seed and save them for later sowing.
