Organic Herbs and Veggies
Growing
fresh herbs and vegetables is much simpler than it may
seem. The good news is that fertilizers and all of those
nasty pesticides are unnecessary. The popularity of herbs
is due to the fact that they take little space and can be
grown in just about any size pot and are often used as an
indoor plant while maturing. If you are just starting out
growing your own herbs, the basic essential herbs for
cooking are: basil, chive, dill, oregano, parsley, sage,
rosemary, marjoram and thyme. These herbs can be grouped
in "classic" herb gardens and can be incorporated into
flower beds or vegetable gardens.
There is nothing better than having fresh herbs
available to you whenever you need them. Herbs can be
harvested during the growing season for your daily use. At
the end of the growing season, they can be harvested for
drying and stored for use in the months when fresh herbs
aren't readily available. Save seeds from the dried herbs
to propagate the following year.
Organic vegetables are not quite as easy to grow as
herbs, but the end results are very favorable. Most
organic vegetable growers do it for three reasons: taste,
enjoyment and saving money. More and more beginner
gardeners are realizing that a small investment of money
can bring an annual savings of ten times the investment
amount.
