My Experience With An Indoor Herb Garden

I must say, I'm having a lot of fun with my indoor herb garden. It makes my kitchen smell wonderful and it makes my food so much tastier.

Gardening does not come natural to me. I have the hardest time keeping plants alive. I would be the first person my friends would turn to if they needed a plant killed.

All I have to do is try to take care of a plant for a week, and it is dead within three days. Nonetheless, I have been trying to grow an indoor herb garden for the past several months, and have finally met with a bit of success.

It was not easy for me, but I am so glad that I have done it. It is one of the most rewarding projects I have done in a long time.

Had it not been for my good friend who is a fantastic chef - I would not have come up with the idea of indoor herb gardening.

I thought I was a halfway decent cook, but my food tastes bland compared to hers. One night, she had me over for dinner. After a particularly excellent feast, I asked what her secret was. She told me that it was her indoor herb garden.

She showed me some of her herbs, and let me smell them. They had the most amazing and delicious fragrances. There is no comparison between them and the freeze dried herbs that I always used.

So I started my own herb garden indoors. Unfortunately, I still had no idea how to grow a garden. My friend gave me some advice, but it didn't really help that much.

I don't know what it is. I followed all of her watering advice. I kept the plants that needed shade in the shade, and the plants that needed sun in the sun. Nevertheless, my indoor herb garden was not coming along. It took me months and months to figure it out, and most people would have given up.

I was very persistent, however. I really wanted an indoor herb garden, and I decided that I would do whatever it took to have one. Finally, my efforts paid off.

I cooked my first meal with indoor garden herbs yesterday. It was Rosemary chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. I put a sprig of thyme in the potatoes, cooked the chicken with the rosemary, and even made a salad complete with sage and lavender.

To me, indoor herb gardens are the most rewarding gardening project that there is. There are many plants that look beautiful, but how many plants also taste beautiful?
