Is it possible to grow herbs inside, e.g. on my kitchen window sill?
Just some small pots, sterile potting compost and the seeds of the herbs you want to grow. Fill the containers with potting compost to just below the lip, put your pinkie into the soil and make a small hole about the depth of your finger nail. Pop the seed in there and cover with loose soil. moisten the soil but don’t water log it. I’d start with basil, parsley, mint, chives as they are all pretty easy to grow. Put them on your window sill and make sure they are damp with water, but again, not too much water. Cress can be grown on moist cotton wool on the window sill. Just damp the cotton wool (or even newspaper) and sprinkle a covering of seeds. Hey presto – a mini field of cress (mustard will also do the same) Once you’ve mastered that why not move onto growing peppers, mini lettuce, chilli’s or spring onions, all of which will grow quite happily on your window sill.
