Your kitchen can be more than a place to store food -- it's the perfect spot to grow a mini herb garden.The O'Haras love to cook, so adding a herb garden is a natural next step to make their kitchen an even more enjoyable place.
An herb garden is an inexpensive way to cultivate your own flavorful ingredients. And considering the huge payoff, it's quite easy to set up. First, add hooks for hanging plants and baskets. A rod or rail will fit right in the window frame and support hooks for suspend containers. Make sure your containers have holes in the bottom for proper drainage and for easy watering right in the sink.
For best results, choose herbs that can tolerate and thrive in direct sunlight. The O'Haras are growing rosemary, basil, thyme and oregano. Yum!
