by Maralyn Jones

Indoor herb gardening is one of the simple gardening as well as it is the gardening which makes your garden full of fragrance. Not only can herbs gardening be done in any type of home, indoor gardening also gives you the option of maintaining and benefiting from your plants year round. Some herbs are harder to grow than others while an herb like chives is hardier and likely to grow in more areas. Make sure the herbs you select will grow well in room temperature. An indoor herb garden will add some color to your rooms if grown in the correct light and temperature. Some people love the idea of growing herbs inside home or in apartments. As they cannot go for outdoor gardening due to insufficient space. By keeping your herbs indoors in containers then you have complete control over their environment: it will never be too hot or too cold, you do not have worry about a sudden downpour drowning your plants - in addition it is easier to protect the herbs from insects and other pests in an indoor herb garden. Gardeners can now get the herb gardening kits and there is a wide range of choices online. Check out local garden centers for the kits to begin growing an indoor herb garden. Most of the kits are reasonably priced and it already comes with overhead lights, herb seeds or seedlings, pots, soil, and other supplies. The kits are recommended for beginner gardeners since it usually comes with instructions on how to get started. There are many herb plants Chives, Basil, Parsley, Oregano, and Thyme which can be grown at home. We can use grow lights for indoor garden. But the problem generally we face for indoor garden is pest problem. The solution for this problem is that to clean your plant with soapy water. You can bring some herbs indoors for the colder winter months as long as you have adequate sunlight. This means a southern exposure ideally with about eight hours of sunlight a day. Pests can also become a problem for indoor herb plants. Because there is no winter cold to kill off eggs, sometimes there will be a large number of tiny sucking insects that will suddenly appear around your herbs. We liked the different sizes and heights; sage grows tall, while basil is more bushy. The thyme is a creeper, growing flat to the ground. It has a tendency to take over its environment, so we will trim it back regularly. Now-a-days people consider gardening as one of the best hobby. As it helps in reducing the stress. Finally, you might be interested in an indoor herb garden growing system that includes the light. These can be purchased with two options. Some are open, and some are covered with clear Plexiglas for protection. They do not use regular seeds or herb plant sets. Instead, they use pods that are designed to be used with specific herb growing systems.
