Whether to garnish or flavor, fresh herbs can transform a plain meal to an elegant dish. Rather than spending money and gas to pick up a few sprigs of rosemary or basil at the grocery store, why not grow them inside your own home instead?
If you’re not exactly a green thumb or someone who likes to stay outside very long, herbs may be the perfect solution for you and your gardening desires. You can easily grow herbs inside of your home with little maintenance.
Here’s a list of the top three herbs that can be grown in your home:
-
Chives
Chop and toss chives into your mashed potatoes or garnish a creamy soup to give depth to the flavor and appearance of your dishes. Chives are perfect kitchen plants, just be sure to keep them by your windowsill to ensure they get enough sun.
-
Basil
Basil will grow well almost anywhere, even in a small living space with limited access to sunlight. You can grow basil alongside other herbs like oregano as well as pair the two herbs for your favorite pasta dishes!
-
Oregano
Oregano is great in tomato-based dishes like pizza and spaghetti sauces, but dried oregano is a favorite herb that will give almost any dish a kick. Like some other herbs in this list, be sure to grow this herb beside a well-lit window.
