Flat leaf parsley is the perfect herb for growing indoors for harvest at home later in the year. They are popular in both Mexican and Italian cooking. Cilantro is especially a familiar favorite in salsas and salads. This perennial herb is great for growing indoors but also enjoy growing the curly leaf version using much success.

If you are new to herb gardening then you should start with basil. This beautiful perennial is used in hundreds of recipes and grows easily. It is great in pasta sauces, soups and stews. If you like the flavor of basil but not bothered by the smell then mint is an ideal substitute for the basil.

Both mint and basil can be grown in large containers in full sun or in a window planter. In full sun the basil will need to be moved outside when the ground is dry, but in a window planter it can remain outdoors throughout the colder winter months. When choosing which variety to plant, keep in mind that season they grow best. Basil tends to have darker green foliage than mint so they are easier to spot during flowering. Both varieties of basil can be grown in hanging baskets. Just ensure that they are planted at the correct height and they will reward you with plenty of delightful basil smells in the coming weeks.

Rosemary and oregano are two more common herbs used in growing pots. Both like full sun so they are also suited for container gardening. Both are easy to find at garden centers but oregano tends to be more expensive. Both herbs do well as cut flowers.

Lemon balm and Rosemary both like full sun so both are perfect candidates for container gardening. When planting them make sure that they receive full sun before planting. Both lemon balm and Rosemary will enjoy being planted around a trellis system. If your garden has a structure that will support this, make sure that it is installed before planting.

Parsley can be planted between rows of tomatoes. A border of chopped basil can be added between rows to enhance the appearance of the parsley. Tomatoes love having their eyes peered at so placing a scattering of basil on the side of the trellis system will draw the eye of your tomato plants. You can also sprinkle basil on top of the heads of tomatoes after they have been planted.

Parsley is such a versatile herb that you can grow it in a variety of ways. One way to utilize the parsley in your garden is to grow it on its own. After planting the seeds you can either keep them indoors in a small container or add them to your garden soil. A small handful of the herb will be more than enough to help fertilize your garden and keep it watered. The plant will grow to be about 3 feet high and will produce new shoots out from each plant as it grows.

The flat leaf parsley herb garden can prove to be a great addition to your home’s herb collection. The colorful snap of the parsley herb will be enjoyed by children and adults alike. This flowering perennial will provide the tomatoes, basil, and oregano that you need for recipes throughout the entire year.

Tomatoes are a popular addition to the garden and they are easy to grow. You should start with a planting of mixed greens such as red and green beans or even mixed greens such as kale and collard greens. You can mix these up to create a variety of different textures and tastes when cooking. The lemon balm will also add a unique flavor to tomatoes. When planting tomatoes, keep in mind that you can plant them either growing close together or planting them apart.

Some herbs such as the lemon balm prefer a cooler climate and will do best when planted at the base of a tree. They can then climb up the tree and bloom all year long. Other herbs such as basil enjoy a more open and sunny environment and will do well as long as you plant them in pots. Keep in mind that each herb will require a slightly different amount of water to survive. Once you have decided what you will be growing, you will want to determine how much sun and water your plants need.

A final important thing to remember is that you will want to make sure that you provide your plants with the right nutrition so that they will thrive and grow strong. When growing flat leaf parsley, you will want to be sure that you keep the top growing part of the plant intact, because the lower growing part will produce new leaves to replace the ones that have fallen. This will provide your herbs with all the food it needs to grow and thrive. You will find that this is a very easy way to make sure that you provide your herbs with everything it needs to be great in your home and garden.
