“I LOVE my indoor herb garden! It’s not a super fancy set-up. I use one long rectangular planter in one kitchen window, and a couple of smaller pots in another. I’ve planted basil, mint, oregano, parsley, and rosemary in mine. I use these fresh herbs year-round in cooking, tea, homemade body care products, and more.”
“the one time i tried to have a basil factory in my kitchen, i had to throw away 7 other plants because thrips infestation EVERYWHERE. the basil was kind of their base of operation where they launched heavy attack missions into the rest of my apartment.”
