Herb garden?I would love to grow my own fresh herbs and secips. Is it ok to grow them indoors or should I wait for the summer to start? Also any websites or books you can offer for suggestions would be most helpful. I live in an apartment with a balcony so growing one in a garden won’t do. Thanks
Herbs grow best outdoors because they like a lot of light. My favorite herb book is one by Rodale. You can find it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Rodales-Illustrated-Encyclopedia-Claire-Kowalchik/dp/0878576991/ref=sr_1_13?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1415498935&sr=1-13&keywords=rodale+books .
Im having trouble planting this herb. SOS.
Jane, can you be more specific? What happens when you plant it? Where are you planting it?
