There are few things in life as good as your own herb, grown by yourself at home out in the garden and indoors in pots… Oregano, Dill, Basil, Sage and other herbs are all easy to grow. Mint will take over the whole yard if you let it. Fresh mint and celantro are incredible in salads and oriental dishes. But it all comes down to a truly motivational herb that is your friend and mine, a great healer and teacher to those that know it well.
Most people think of gardens as a seasonal, yearly project, but its actually less time consuming and more rewarding to keep the garden going year round. If one were to attempt to grow year round, indoor gardening techniques will be needed at least during winter to keep the garden producing. You will have herb fresh at all times, there is no worry of mass storage thru the winter and spring, it requires less space, and once established, requires only minimal attention every week to keep it producing at optimal levels.
The best part of being a gardener is it connects you to the earth. It connects you with nature, and is spiritually enriching. Try giving your plants energy by beaming good thoughts and energy at them every time you visit them. I find this helps me as much as it helps them; my plants seem to respond to it favorably.

GENETICS AND THE PLANT

Its very important to start with good genetics. You should attempt to find seeds from local gardeners that are acclimated and bred for local climate and best floral characteristics. Potency, aroma, fast growth, early maturation, resistance to fungus and pests. All of these factors are considered by the seasoned gardener and you will benefit enormously by finding a friend to get you started on the journey that never ends…
Attempt to find an Indica/Sativa hybrid if possible, as this will have the best high and good characteristics for indoor growth as well. Indica plants have a heavy, stony high that is tiresome, and sativas are hard to grow indoors due to high light requirements, and late flowering traits, so a hybrid can be bread that will have the energetic, cerebral high of the sativa and the early maturation tendencies of the Indica plant.
The Indica plant is easily recognized by its extremely broad leaves that are very rounded on the sides. The Sativa has very narrow, finger-like leaves. A hybrid will have qualities of both and have leaves that are a cross of these two types, thinner than an Indica, but much broader than a Sativa. It is possible to recognize a good hybrid by the leaves once you know what to look for.
Look for seeds that are dark brown or light grey. Some may have dark lines inset into these colors, like tiger stripes. White, small seeds are immature and should not be planted.

If I grow herbs indoors, will I be able to use them in cooking all year round? Will they make the house smell nice? Is there a certain way that is best to grow herbs indoors? I especially want to grow parsley and chives and maybe oregano; do they grow well indoors? What else can grow well indoors?

If you grow herbs indoors, you’ll be able to use them year round, & they’ll make your house smell nice. Most herbs need plenty of strong light each day to do well indoors. Place herbs in a bright sunny kitchen window, a south- or west-facing window, or beneath fluorescent lights. Also, provide air circulation through the area, humidity, & don’t let the herbs get crowded. Most herbs are sensitive to over watering or soggy soils. They are happier a little dry than too wet. In general, water less often and more thoroughly,adding water until it comes out the bottom of the pot. Rosemary is different because it doesn’t like to dry out. At the same time, it hates to stay wet. Make sure your herbs are growing in containers with excellent drainage. Don’t forget to fertilize your herbs. This site has a list of which herbs require more light & which herbs need less light:

http://www.bachmans.com/retail/tipsheets/indoor_plants/GrowingHerbsIndoors.cfm

Master gardener Paul James explains how to grow herbs, like chives, parsley & oregano indoors: "Aside from rosemary, most culinary herbs adapt well to the indoor environment during the winter months, provided they get bright light, regular watering and routine misting to maintain high humidity levels."

http://www.hgtv.com/landscaping/herbs-indoors/index.html

Some of the easiest ones to grow indoors are thyme (Thymus vulgaris), basil (Ocimum basilicum), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), oregano (Origanum vulgare), chives (Allium schoenoprasum), mint (Mentha sp.) and sage (Salvia officinalis). For people who love garlic, a great alternative is garlic chives (Allium tuberosum).
