Personalized Labels Autograph Your Herb Garden as Your Own Winter Project
Freezing temperatures, dark days and stone-hard ground doesn’t mean that you can’t get your hands in the dirt for the next several months. An indoor herb garden can feed your gardening habit regardless of how cold it gets outside. Your winter herb garden will allow you to continue enjoying some garden freshness even while your outdoor garden lies blanketed deep beneath a comforter of downy snow. Just grab some plants, pots and personalized labels and you’ll be ready to begin.
Plants
If this is your first attempt at an inside herb garden there are some good beginner plant choices: Rosemary, Parsley, Mint, Basil, Cilantro, Sage and Thyme all grow well in indoor pots. Since they are commonly called-for kitchen herbs you use each day, they are a great place to start.
Pots
It’s important that the pots you choose offer good drainage. Waterlogged soil can cause potted herbs to die. To ensure good drainage, place a few pebbles in the very bottom of your pots. Top those pebbles with quality potting soil that won’t clump and drown your plants.
Place your pots where they can get the greatest amount of sunlight. Like outdoor garden plants, your herbs will crave six hours of sunshine. Since winter doesn’t always cooperate, you can supplement with a fluorescent lamp set nearby. Rotate your herb pots so that everyone gets the benefit of proximity to the light.
Position
You want to place pots near the best light source, but you do need to be careful about placing them too near a window where drafts could do them harm. Your herbs enjoy rooms set to a comfortable 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, be sure to mist them regularly since your home heating can make the house a dry environment. Herbs prefer a humid environment.
Personalized Labels
Your household herb garden is your own project this winter. You choose the plants, the pots and the place they live. Adding personalized labels to each pot is like your personal autograph on your work of art. If you like, you can transfer plants and labels to your outdoor garden once spring finally arrives.
