10 Best Herbs for Indoors

1.Basil

Start basil from seeds and place the pots in a south-facing window—it likes lots of sun and warmth.

2.Bay

A perennial that grows well in containers all year long. Place the pot in an east- or west-facing window, but be sure it does not get crowded—bay needs air circulation to remain healthy.

3.Chervil

Start chervil seeds in late summer. It grows well in low light but needs temperatures between 65°F and 70°F to thrive.

4.Chives

Dig up a clump of chives from your garden at the end of the growing season and pot it up. Leave the pot outside until the leaves die back. In early winter, move the pot to your coolest indoor spot (such as a basement) for a few days, then finally to your brightest window.

5.Oregano

Your best bet is to start with a tip cutting from an outdoor oregano plant. Place the pot in a south-facing window.

6.Parsley

You can start this herb from seeds or dig up a clump from your garden at the end of the season. Parsley likes full sun, but will grow slowly in an east- or west-facing window.

7.Rosemary

Start with a cutting of rosemary, and keep it in moist soilless mix until it roots. It grows best in a south-facing window.

8.Sage

Take a tip cutting from an outdoor plant to start an indoor sage. It tolerates dry, indoor air well, but it needs the strong sun it will get in a south-facing window.

9.Tarragon

A dormant period in late fall or early winter is essential for tarragon to grow indoors. Pot up a mature plant from your outdoor garden and leave it outside until the leaves die back. Bring it to your coolest indoor spot for a few days, then place it in a south-facing window for as much sun as possible. Feed well with an organic liquid fertilizer.

10.Thyme

You can start thyme indoors either by rooting a soft tip cutting or by digging up and potting an outdoor plant. Thyme likes full sun but will grow in an east- or west-facing window.

Kadang berangan2 sampai ke langit nak ada indoor garden ala2 gambar di bawah ni,tetapi pattern rumah di mesia ni setiap tingkap x da lebihan panel untuk kita letakkan pasu di tingkap.  Lagi satu,orang mesia ni mana la makan selalu sangat herbs2 gini kan.....herbs kita tak sama dengan orang putih punya herbs. Hari2 mau makan nasi,nak ada daun kunyit la,lengkuas la,serai la....x sama dengan orang putih.

Tapi herbs2 gini tak limited pada kegunaan masakan je,boleh juga di pakai sebagai remedy untuk stress via aromatherapy ka. Macam2 boleh di guna pakai.

Kalau saya buat asam pedas tak yah letak daun kesum,gantikan dengan oregano ke.....ape akan jadi??....sambil makan duk berangan dan feeling2 macam makan pizza pulak. Jangan sakit perut esoknya sudah...... :)
