Herbs can be traced back into the times of the ancient Egyptians and the
ancient Chinese. There are also references in the Bible and medieval documents
that show herbs were used by most households. Growing herbs is something that is
very beneficial to gardeners for several different purposes. Herbs may be used
to flavor food, for potpourri, for tea, for medical purposes or to even control
pests in the garden. Herb gardens can be specialized towards one of these
specific areas or a mixture of a few different purposes. They can also be grown
in a garden with other species of plants or in containers indoors.
Herb gardens can be grown in different ways such as an indoor herb garden in the
kitchen or a small plot in the garden. A small plot of four feet by six feet is
a large enough area to support a small family. Although a popular use for herbs
are for cooking known as culinary herbs, they are also grown for their aromatic
foliage and some for the beauty of their flowers. They can be used fresh or
dried. Some herbs are used as garnish for plates or salads while other types of
herbs can be used to perk up the flavor of a dish.
Like all other plants herbs grow as annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees. When
planting herbs, you should use well-drained soil. If you find that your soil is
heavy or compacted, you can add organic matter to it. Fertilizers are not
necessary either. Most herbs prefer a sunny location although a few prefer full
shade. Many herbs will grow well with afternoon shade. Amazingly, very few
diseases or insects attack herbs. Sometimes in dry, hot weather red spider mites
can be found on low-growing plants and aphids may attach dill, caraway, anise,
or fennel. Rust can also affect mint.
Herbs can be bought and planted into a home garden or they can be grown from
seeds. It is an honor and a joy to be able to see a plant be grown from a single
seed. You are able to enjoy every step of the process from birth to death in a
respect. When growing a plant like an herb from a seed the experience is all the
more rewarding because herbs are so useful. Almost all herbs can be grown from a
seed. Seeds should be placed in a shallow pot or box in the late winter. Use a
light, well-drained soil to grown your seeds in. Since herbs do not have a deep
root base, make sure not to cover the seeds too much with the soil. They should
be planted shallow. Follow the rule: the finer the seed, the shallower it should
be sown. You can transplant the seedlings to the outdoors in the spring.
Although most herbs can be grown from seeds, some herbs do not transplant well.
Herbs like dill, fennel, anise, and coriander should be planted directly into
the garden.
Although growing herbs in a home garden is extremely easy and worthwhile, there
is a lot of information you need to know and understand about herbs. This
article has given you a lift and now it is time to complete the journey with
more information. And you can find all of the information you need right here!
Good Luck!
