Indoor Herb Garden

Loving to cook – inspire ones to grow your own herbs for your cooking pleasure – therefore I went on the internet to look at ways to grow my own herb garden – after all how hard can it be right?  I think I’m going to enjoy it a lot – so to start with – I have to look for some pots – but where oh where should i plant the herb?  window sill in the kitchen ?  or a corner in the dining room or kitchen?  Now I learned that herbs need lots of sunlight – at least  6 hrs a day.  I would like to grow some basil, oregan, chives and mint since I used a lot of these in my cooking and of course Parsley – my favorite.  Garlic is also my favorite but I doubt I’m so adventurous.  Now should I start from seed or a live plant?  seed is easier I guess? no? I also need potting soil as well as good drainage – since I am cooking with the herb – I have to make sure that they are quality potting soil and fertilizer need to be ones that can be used with edible plants – that way I won’t poison the entire family.One thing I have to remember is that I cannot overdose the herb with water – as soaking wet soil is not something that herbs like.   Wish me luck!
