Experience I have been growing herbs organically for 27 years. I have also written and self-published, loose leaf binder, "Herbmans Journal". 2008 is my last year at Smile Herb Shop. I plan to grow herbs in my small back yard and sell at David's Natural Store in Columbia, Md. on saturdays. I also will return to the Baltimore Herb Festival in May 2009(memorial day weekend).I used the word organically grown, but the state came into the picture and stated that I could not use the word unless I become certified & paid a $300.00 fee. I decided to add to my name (99% chemical-free) since nothing on this planet is 100%, except Jesus Christ, taxes & death. My customers were satisfied with this instead of paying a large fee and raising my prices,with no guarantee that it is organic except for a label.Their belief was in my word.
Question I am looking to grow some herbs in my kitchen and I am a little weary of doing
any indoor gardening in fear of killing yet another plant...
Are there any hardy herbs that you can recommend for me to start out with that
will do okay indoors?
Answer Jamie:
Hardy herbs do not like the indoors unless you have an eastern/southeast exposure. They like outdoors to return next year after being dormant during the winter. Try parsley for indoors. If you live in a warm climate all year, try basil which needs 16 hours of sun and 70 degree temps. Some tender herbs that will return next year indoors are scented geraniums, winter tarragon, chives, tender rosemary,sage. The list is too long since I do not know your climate.
Good luck.
