apartment herbs Amy or Gary I have a question

[Guest guest]

Amy, You mentioned you were growing some herbs inside your apartment?

How are they doing and what are you growing. I want to grow some sage or

basil or maybe chives. Can I do this in the kitchen windowbox.

 

Gary, Maybe you could help me too. What would be an easy herb to grow? I

like all fresh herbs but I only have a small space to growing one or two.

Tia,

~G~

I haven't got anything but rosemary at the moment. But basil is easy,

chives are easy (keep them in their own container or they'll take

over), pineapple sage is nice... one trick especially with the

containers, that I learned was to keep pinching back the new growth,

so they'd end up bushy rather than leggy.

You can grow herbs in your windowbox if your

windowbox gets enough sun. They won't

get as large as they would in the ground

but . . .

 

I've grown in pots:

sage, thyme, marjoram, basil, chives, parsley,

various mints (they'll take over too), etc.

rosemary can get very large.
