I have a 3 meter by 1 meter outdoor area attached to my kitchen, paved, and has restricted sun access because it is roofed and has a wooden panel that looks like this http://www.tradeindia.com/selloffer/2571690/Punched-Hole.html

Enough sunlight peaks through the grooves but the direct sunlight is limited to 2 hours a day max.

This is in a sea country in the Middle East, so it is hot and humid in summer, warm to slightly cool in the evenings in winter. It is winter now, and there is no humidity. Temp around 28 -23 C.

I want to turn this area into a herb and vegetable garden. What types of herbs and vegetables could I grow under the above conditions? (baring in mind the current season).

Many thanks,
Z

I’m getting my cousin a home herb garden for christmas, but I still need to get her about 5-10 dollars more stuff for our secret santa gift exchange. what would be a cute kitchen item I could get her to go with the herbs?

ps. I’m only waiting til the last minute because I just got back from college a couple days ago.

I want an indoor culinary herb garden but haven’t heard much about them.
Are they worth it?
Does it actually work and continue to grow herbs?
If you’ve ever owned one I’d love to know your opinion.
Thanks!

I bought a mint garden, and a basil garden from my my neighbourhood farmers market. They are already grown and they look stunning on my window sill, but how do I keep them from dyeing?

Not sure if this link is going to work, but here is a picture.

How many times do I water them? Do I use a lot of water? Do I only wet the soil, or can I wet the actual plant as well?
Is there a certain way to pick the herb out of it’s stem? If so, how?

Please give me all the tips you have.

I want to start growing herbs for cooking indoors and was wondering which ones are easy to grow. I’ve never successfully really grown anything before. Is Basil a good one? Chives? Suggestions?
How do I start- just buy some seeds, dirt and containers?

I live in an apartment with no patio and I have an indoor organic windowsill herb garden of 5 herbs.

I just noticed there are little, tiny flies on my herbs and I’d like to know a way I can get rid of those suckers without using any chemicals on the herbs.

Any indoor gardeners have advice for me?
