Can someone tell me a little about growing herbs indoors?!
Answers:
Light: Herbs love the sun, so choose a spot with plenty of it!. Southern exposure is ideal, but any bright window with four hours of direct sun will do!.
Containers: Pot especially pungent herbs like cilantro, mint, basil, and lavender individually, so their roots don't overwhelm one another!. Try planting other varieties together in a single hanging basket or a long ceramic trough!. Choose containers with holes in the bottom for drainage!.
Soil: Fill the pot with potting soil, which is lightweight and drains quickly!.
Water: Allow the soil to become dry before watering!. Pay attention to shifts in temperature—consider air-conditioning, radiator heat, and seasonal variation in sunshine—and adjust your watering schedule accordingly (anywhere from once a week to once a day during hot spells)!.
Sources: Besides a local nursery or farmers' market, excellent herb plants are available from www!.nicholsgardennursery!.com and papagenos!.com!.
Etc!.: Fertilize with an organic fertilizer as often as the package's instructions direct!. When growth slows, lift the entire plant (root ball included) out of its pot: time to transplant to a larger container

there is nothing to it
just remember to put a drip tray under the pots or containers so as NOT to stain the rugs or floors and each should have ? inch of Aquarium charcoal in the bottom
(keep any stink down)
90% of herbs are common weedsWww@FoodAQ@Com

I've tried many times, in different exposures, and they never grow as well as they do outside !.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
