My Window Herb Garden

My apartment has south facing windows, which makes it SO HOT and blindingly bright. Sometimes I have to wear sunglasses indoors, and the wall of mirrors doesnt help matters! So I figured I might as well take advantage of living in a greenhouse and grow some herbs.
I’ve been collecting some potted herbs for the past few days. I bought some at the farmer’s market, some at Home Depot, and some more at my local florist. I was looking for the perfect pot to replant them in so I could leave them on my window sill and have fresh herbs everyday. The florist had her herbs in these glass square bowls, and she told me that with a few stones below the soil for drainage, the herbs would be just fine in one of those.
Im growing: Basil, Mint, Oregano, and Thyme. I have Rosemary growing in a separate pot because it has different watering needs. I put the Oregano and Mint at the edges because they tend to flop sideways, while the Basil and Thyme will stay more upright. For instructions on a fool-proof herb garden go HERE.
I cant wait to make dinner tonight!












































What a cool herb garden! I love the glass container it’s in too. Perfectly functional, but a lovely design piece as well. I just planted some herbs from seed in my garden (first time doing that), but if it doesn’t work out, I’m going to create something like what you have.
My mom is trying to plant from seed, lets see how it goes for her… I am so impatient, I need instant gratification!
Wow- that is the coolest thing I ever saw!!
Im dying to copy you, but I have no green thumb, everything would die instantly
I love the way it looks in the glass….
You need to have a very sunny place for it… at least 6 hours a day. Its easy!!! I have no green thumb either.
This is such a cool idea. Think I’m gonna copy you
So awesome Claud— you are going to LOVE IT!
