About this deal
Purple salad leaves are a great fast-growing, cut-and-come-again crop, so keep sowing seedlings to fill gaps. There are various sizes to choose from depending on how many herbs you'll be growing and each box has drainage holes in the base. If possible, prefer organic fertilizers that provide all the necessary nutrients while being more environment-friendly. When harvesting, cut off the stalks right at the base and they will quickly sprout back because chives are perennial herbs.
This thirsty biennial will last you two years and require plenty of hydration over the course of its lifespan. As mentioned above, herbs are fast-growing little plants that don’t require too much in the way of maintenance, so you should expect to see results without too long a wait. You might be delighted to hear that you do not need to have a balcony or garden to have your own herb garden. If you want to keep sage indoors, place it on a south-facing windowsill and water it when the top layer of soil is dry.When harvesting, simply cut a few branches from the base; the rosemary will sprout again on the windowsill. Pro Tip: Besides this, you can also try to grow garlic and green onions, and many other tasty vegetable crops on your windowsill. Basil develops more stable shoots and tastes more aromatic when grown in nutrient-rich vegetable soil than when grown in nutrient-poor herb soil. The best way to encourage the production of foliage and dense growth is to harvest herbs regularly; frequent pinching and picking up of fresh leaves for eating promotes lush and healthy growth in these plants. As a plant which actually grows better in a pot than it does in ground soil, mint is the ideal herb to cultivate indoors.
For herbs that have upright stems, like basil, oregano, rosemary and mint, cut off individual stems and strip the leaves off.Some herbs are trickier to grow from seed, because they are either slow-growing, or take a long time to germinate.
