Growing organic herbs indoors

I love fresh herbs so this week I have decided to start growing fresh herbs on my kitchen windowsill. I have been meaning to do it for ages I as use herbs all the time when I’m cooking especially basil and coriander and I always end up buying it from the supermarket and paying over the odds for fresh herbs in a plastic container. And then I only use about half and have to throw the rest away which is a complete waste.

So I went out and bought some organic basil and coriander seeds, I have chosen some old plant pots that my friend had lying about, It is essential that the containers you are going to use have drainage holes in them as herbs don’t like to be sitting in water, and buy some peat free compost too. I have also put some stones in the bottom of the pot to increase drainage.

The great thing about herbs is they can be grown all year round if planted indoors, as long as they have a good source of natural light they will be fine.

I will keep you posted on how they are growing and put up some photos of them when they have grown
