Secrets For Successful Herb Gardening – Growing Herbs Indoors

Gardening: Tomatoes

Growing tomatoes is an art. In fact in some neighborhoods, even a status symbol. Getting it right is not always easy and many theories have been propounded about the best methods to use. Hopefully my many years experience in the gardening and nursery industry may help to offer the best advice according to yours truly.

GETTING THE SOIL RIGHT

Tomato plants love food and water. They are quite greedy plants. Start the soil work at least two weeks before planting by turning it over, then add composted waste, aged chicken or cow manure and turn it over again. Try to avoid sheep manure as they often pass undigested seeds. This could lead to unwanted crops of just about anything they have eaten. You should know prepare the garden bed into furrows and mounds. Eventually, tomatoes will be planted on mounds.

Some of the most common indoor herbs:
• Basil: Easy herb to grow from seed both indoors or outside. Requires the sunniest position.
• Thyme: Thrives well in the dry, indoor air but needs a lot of sunlight
• Parsley: A slow grower but needs very little sunlight
• Oregano: Needs a lot of light but has a variety of uses.
• Bay: Grows well indoors yearlong. Prefers filtered sun and rich soil in a cool place
• Sage: Likes direct sun
• Rosemary: Needs ample sunlight and is sensitive to over watering. A delicious and beautiful herb

PLANTING

Nearly all tomatoes need staking, so get some 6′ hardwood stakes and set them along the mounds about six feet apart, one after the other. Next to each one of these stakes, plant a tomato seedling. Water in well when finished. As the tomato grows you will need to use the stake and some twine (or flexible cording), to support and hold the plant upright. Do not “choke or damage plants by tying too tight.

Different plants require different amount of sunlight. Some of them need direct sunlight and some may not survive in the hot sun. If you are planting a plant with multiple colors, you may need to expose it to direct sunlight. Begonias, for instance, need sunlight to bloom, but too much sunlight may dry them. If you are keeping the potted plant indoor, just make sure you bring them outside from time to time, or use suitable light bulb to help plant growth.

Growing herbs indoors will make your house smell nice and provide you with fresh and healthy herbs. You can now grow your own herbs inside the house with little or no gardening skills
