Grow Garden Herbs Indoors
Many people love and enjoy the great fresh herbs we can have in the summer, but what do you do when it gets too cold?
Bring them inside! Plant your herbs inside, because your spaghetti won’t taste right without some fresh herbs from your garden!
Read these indoor gardening tips for growing garden herbs indoors and with garden containers and grow racks inside your apartment or balcony.
Maybe you have already tried to grow your herbs inside, but some of your herbs just aren’t growing so nicely. If you don’t own a Greenhouse then you probably don’t grow inside much, but here’s the trick. Cilantro, basil, and pesto may be your slow growers, or maybe not growing at all.
- Herbs do require a lot of light, and since the sun isn’t out as long during the winter months, all you have to do is set up a few fluorescent lights.
You need to make sure your indoor herb gardens are getting enough direct light.
- Keep your herbs close to a non drafty window, and when the sun goes down put on the fluorescent lights. They will need at least 18 hours of direct light.

I am an avid of herbs. I really enjoy adding some of it on my family’s everyday menu.
I just feel that a dish won’t be complete without a touch of herb. I like basil, cilantro, parsley and thyme in particular. I agree that these herbs really need a lot of lighting to help them flourish well. It is really nice to know that growing such wonderful crops are also possible even the colder months through hydroponics gardening. Hydroponics indoor gardening truly rocks!
I followed these steps when planting some basil and parsley in several patio pots. Now the light and the temperature are perfect for these herbs. Hope they’ll grow up well and taste good in my dishes.
As all of you know, aromatic herbs turn out to be very expensive. Since I like to have a permanent supply, I decided to grow my own, and the balcony seems more than adequate for this task. During the cloudy days, I turn on the fluorescent lighting system, so they get sufficient light.
My wife recently started to grow sage and rosemary, as well as other herbs a while ago. She’s really happy about this and the food we cook seems to have suddenly gained a new dimension!
If you’re into Mediterranean cuisine, like I am, then you know that oregano, basil and mint are essential for most of the dishes. Salads, pasta and pizza are only some foods in which you can throw such herbs. Thank you for teaching me how to grow them!
