One of the great things about growing herbs is that you can plant them almost anywhere, even on the ground. This makes it possible to enjoy fresh herbs all year round, instead of only having them available for the few months that you have in your garden. The other nice thing is that they don’t have to be invasive to get going. You can start them from seed, and they will grow right through your garden. Here are some tips that will help you get started with your herb gardening.

The first thing that you will want to consider when it comes to growing herbs is what type of container that you will be using. Most people use small containers that are made specifically for growing herbs. However, if you are really ambitious, or just like experimenting, then you can get a big pot that is large enough for your herbs. They will just need to be watered more often.

Once you have decided on the right type of container, you will need to make sure that your seeds are prepared properly. Many times people will find that seeds get lost in the soil, so it is important that you remember where they are before you begin planting anything. Check the soil and make sure that it is sterile. This is very important as you don’t want your seeds to germinate in your soil and end up making your plants sick. If you accidentally sowed your seeds in the wrong soil, then it is likely that they will not germinate and will only survive for a short time.

When it comes to planting your herb seeds in pots, there are two different ways to do so. There are actually seeds that come in a special plastic bag that has the seeds inside. These bags can be bought at most garden centers for very cheap. There is also the option of buying small packets of seeds. Keep in mind that if you buy seeds from a local garden center, make sure that the seeds are certified as coming from a reputable source.

The other method of planting herb seeds in pots is by planting them directly into the ground. This can be a good way to go if you are new to gardening. This method can be quite messy though so it is not recommended for most. Many people who are just learning about growing herbs choose this method because it is the cheapest. You can also purchase small packets of seeds to add right into the soil when you are planting.

You will also need to follow a few other simple steps to ensure that your herbs grow properly. One of these is to water your herbs thoroughly when they are growing. Most herbs will need to have their root zone about one foot larger than their size. If you are growing herbs for cooking, then you will also want to make sure that your herbs are kept away from pests and rodents that eat your herbs. To protect your plants from weather, wind, and insects you will want to plant your herbs at least six to eight feet away from any existing trees, plants, or shrubs.

After planting herb seeds in pots, you will want to water your plants every few days. You should never over water your herbs. Some seeds will germinate easier than others. It is important to keep track of how many herbs you are growing at any given time. If you accidentally over water your herbs they will actually suffer from small water shortages which can prevent them from growing to their full potential.

When you are ready to plant your seeds, you will want to put your container in a sunny place and follow the instructions provided by the seed packets. Cover your container with a protective sealant and place it in an area that is dark, cool, and well ventilated. You will find that after you do that, your seeds will germinate and grow quite well. Once you have your herbs well taken care of, you will have your favorite herb garden at your finger tips.
