Growing Herbs Indoors
Herb gardening is a great hobby to have even if you’re not into the whole “tilling up the land” kind of gardening. Gardening is therapeutic, and if you’re growing herbs, you can do some amazing things with them. From seasoning your food to making a sensational smelling potpourri, this cheap hobby will actually save you money at the grocery store!

You can have a thriving herb garden right in your own kitchen… or sun room… or living room… heck, put it anywhere you like.

Growing herbs indoors works well for many reasons. If you are looking to start growing herbs indoors, here are a few tips that should get you well on your way:

I am keeping a nice bushy basil plant in an east window. Now iI want to dig up my hard to replace French Tarragon plant and bring it in for the winter. Watering advice? Fertilizer?

@JBsez Utah State University recommends shearing the plant to the ground after the fall harvest, then fertilizing after you bring it in to stimulate new growth: https://extension.usu.edu/files/publications/publication/Horticulture_Garden_2009-02.pdf
