It is relatively easy to grow an herb garden and handy to have those herbs you like within easy reach while you are cooking. Regular watering is essential to growing plants in a hanging basket.
The first thing to think of is when you are going to want to have the seedlings ready either for giving away to someone else or to plant outdoors. The older leaves are the ones that help with digestion and are quite edible when they are steamed or stir-fried with any other kind of vegetable. Before you buy your seeds or seedlings, you need to plan your herb garden.
The larger the weed the harder it becomes to remove it without possibly uprooting your plants. So be more careful in the winter so the caterpillars can keep these plants alive for your garden in the spring. Try and save some money by sowing nasturtium, cosmos, sunflower, and California poppy seeds directly into the garden in spring.
Spend a day with the kids making gardening a family event. You can always ask your local agriculture office for more tips.
