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?

Hello I have started an indoor herb garden from seeds (Basil, Coriander, Parsley) and my Basil plants are growing really well, the ones around the edges have broken through the soil and have two leaves (still very young and small). However, the soil in the middle has been pushed up, should I lift and overturn this to allow the seedlings underneath it to push up easier, or should I leave it and let them push through on their own? Would pushing the lifted soil down be bad for the seedlings underneath?

Hello! I’m a high school student. I’m thinking about growing my own plants indoor, just for fun. I’m really like my Science classes (especially biology) and I find that taking time out of your day to admire nature can be quite calming.

I would like to start planting a single plant indoors. I live in Toronto, Canada and we’re currently headed into summer but since my room is in the basement it’s a bit cooler than the upstairs and most of the sunlight that comes in is through small windows no taller than 30cm or about a foot if your American and maybe 50 cm wide.

I’m still sort of not sure what type of plant I should go for. Just for fun, beauty maybe some herbs or a bit of everything? I don’t mind spending too much on initial costs like seeds and a pot but I’m not to sure about fertilizing plants since I am relatively new to this (We have a small garden in our backyard but I’m not sure if we fertilize it). What would you recommend for me? I think if all goes well and I really enjoy this plant, I may choose to grow more and have like a miniature indoor garden in a some what wide container (this would most likely happen once I hit University).

Thanks a lot for the help, I do truly appreciate it.

I have the soil prepared, and I’m making my list for the seeds going on sale next week. This is what I have on the list so far:

Basil
Oregano
Thyme
Chives
Dill
Cilantro

Am I overlooking something very common?
Parsely! See? That is why I asked!

In case you didn’t know, tomorrow is Earth Day, and today I went to do some community service at a community garden, and I must say that I feel good after doing that. I got back a bunch of seeds they didn’t want, and that felt great. I’m probably gonna plant some herbs and flowers in a pot and place it on my desk and smell it and tell them how pretty they are everyday. Sounds good? But anyways…

to the question!!!

-> What’s your favorite song about anything related to nature? (Whether it be title, lyrics, or meaning, whatever. Whatever floats your boat.)

BQ: If you could plant anything you wanted, and it would grow no matter how much you neglect it, what would you plant?

BBQ(yum): Favorite fruit or veggie?

BBBQ: What’s your favorite flower?

Enjoy! And let’s save the earth together, my amazing rock and poppers!

Have you heard of these herbs/ingredients. If so can you tell me what plant/flower they come from.:
- Massularia Acuminate (Stem)**
Nelumbo Nucifera (Seeds And Leaves)**
Rhamnus Nakaharai (Stem)

-There is a new bodybuilding supplement on the market that is supposed to be awesome and all it has is these herbs in it.
