Introduction

Growing herbs at home is a rewarding experience, especially when you get to enjoy its benefits. Some may think that growing herbs at home is too difficult but with the right information and supplies; it can be easy. In this article we will discuss how to grow herbs at home by giving you tips on how to choose the right spot for them, supply list and more importantly how long does it take for a herb plant to grow? So read on!

Know Your Supplies

To grow herbs, you need to have the right supplies. For example, you will need seeds and seedlings. Seeds come in packets or jars and are about the size of a grain of rice. Seedlings are small plants that grow in small pots. They can be bought at your local gardening store or online from an online vendor who sells both seeds and seedlings in bulk quantities so that you don’t have to buy them individually every time you want to start growing any new herbs.

It is also important to use good quality soil when planting herb seeds because they contain nutrients which can be used by plants during their growth cycle when they are planted outside in gardens or indoor containers placed on windowsills inside homes where sunlight won’t reach them during long winter months. Soil should not be too wet nor too dry either; it should have just enough moisture content so that roots aren’t damaged by lack thereof but neither do they become too saturated due over saturation caused by excess rainfall during rainy seasons such as springtime here where I live (Indiana).

Watering your plants regularly is another part of caring for them properly so make sure there’s plenty available before heading out there with watering cans full! We want our plants growing strong so give them plenty – don’t skimp on this step!!

Find the Right Spot

You will need to find the right spot for your herbs. You want a place where they can receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight, but not too much.

Make sure you choose a spot that drains well and is not subject to extreme temperatures. The ideal temperature range for growing most herbs is between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit, with the exception of mints and basil, which prefer cooler temperatures (50-60 F).

Select the herbs you want to grow

The next step is to select the herbs you want to grow. Whether you’re an avid gardener or a novice, there are several things that you need to consider before deciding which herbs to plant.

• Choose herbs that are easy to grow. Some plants require special conditions like lots of water or plenty of sunlight. If these conditions aren’t met, they will die out within a few months after planting them in your garden. This will give you a bad experience and discourage any future attempts at growing herbs at home in the future. So, it is important that you choose those varieties which are easy-to-grow so as not waste your efforts on them later!
• Select herbs that suit your climate type and location where they can thrive well enough (for example: cilantro does not do well in areas with high heat). You should also make sure that there isn’t too much moisture around their roots because this could lead them towards molding rather quickly -and no one wants moldy cilantro! On top of all this, some types will even die if exposed too much sunlight which means finding out beforehand what kind works best depending on where exactly they’re going be placed each time throughout their lifecycle (soil types may vary between locations depending on where they’re planted).

Plant at the right time

You should plant your herbs in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

As a general rule of thumb you should plant your herbs in spring and summer. Herb plants are usually harvested during the summer months for their freshness. If you want to eat them all year round then it is best to grow indoors or use an herb garden bed indoors so that you can pick them at any time of the year.

Allow enough space between plants

Before you begin to plant your herbs, it’s important to consider how much space your plants will need. The rule of thumb is that each herb will need about 2 feet of garden bed for every foot of height. So if you are planting a dwarf rosemary in a 4-inch pot, it’ll only need about 16 inches between plants. But if you want to grow an 18-inch tall lavender in the same sized container, it will require 24 inches of space from its neighbor (18″ + 4″ pot = 22″. 22″ divided by 2 = 11″).

While this rule can be helpful, there are many factors that may affect your plant’s needs: type of plant (some grow tall while others spread wide), sunlight requirements (some like sun while others prefer shade), water needs (some require more than others), whether or not they need staking, etc. When purchasing new plants at a nursery or garden center ask the experts there what kind of care they recommend for your particular selection!

Water your herbs well

Watering your herbs well is important for growth. It’s best to water the herbs in the morning or evening, since this ensures that the roots get maximum benefit of the water and leaves are able to take up all of this moisture. If you don’t have enough time on your hands during these hours, then try watering them early in the afternoon when it’s cooler outside so that there is less chance of evaporation taking place.

Harvest your herbs at the right time.

Harvesting herbs at the right time is important to get the best flavor. You can tell when an herb is ready to be harvested by looking at its leaves and stems. When harvesting herbs from your garden, make sure you cut them at ground level and keep only a small part of their roots intact for replanting.

Growing herbs at home is a rewarding experience especially when you get to enjoy its benefits. Herbs are easy to grow at home and can be grown in pots, hanging baskets or even on the window sill.

Herbs are much more than just beautiful plants that add interest to your garden. They’re also packed with vitamins and minerals, making them a great healthy addition to your diet. The variety of uses for herbs makes growing them an interesting project for anyone who enjoys cooking with fresh ingredients or wants to expand their knowledge of alternative medicines and treatments.
