Why a Window Box Herb Garden

Growing your own window herb garden can be fun, rewarding and it can save you a lot of money. Any professional chef or even part time, for fun chefs can tell you that the most costly ingredients in any dish are the herbs. You may only use a pinch of this and a dash of that but initially you have to buy a whole container which is not cheap.

That’s why many people choose to grow their own herbs. And not all of us have that large garden plot to grow our herbs, so many of us resort to window boxes, window sills or containers. For more informantion on Herbs and herb gardening visit Window Herb Garden

Window herb gardens require only a pot to put the herbs in, of course the seeds, some fertilizer or just plain dirt, some water and a lot of love and attention. Herbs aren’t very difficult to grow. Provided they are not neglected too often, watered when they appear a little dry and given lots of sunshine in a bright window, you will find that they flourish quite easily without much effort.

They Add Color

Apart from the benefits to having a ready supply of herbs for cooking, herbs can add an array of color to your windowsill. Beautiful greens and whites, some yellows and other lush colors is what you get when you finally successfully grow all your own herbs in your window herb garden. The only difficult part is actually having to grow them! For more informantion on Herbs and herb gardening click here: Windowsill Herbs

How To Start

If you don’t have a green thumb and you have no idea how to grow anything at all, even weeds, then you should do a little research first. Most garden stores will have stock of window herb garden kits or pre planted herbs that just need water to get them to grow. But it is always a good idea to surf the net for ideas and information on growing your favorite herbs in your own window herb garden.

It then becomes just as easy to get your own pot, seeds and soil and do it yourself. Once done you can then watch your own self made window herb garden blossom. This way you should always  have a good supply of your own flavorful herbs to use in the kitchen. They smell pretty good too!
