Windowsill Herb Garden

 With all this hot and humid weather outside, I like to keep my gardening to the indoors!  A windowsill herb garden in the kitchen still satisfies my green thumb and also is great to be able to mix herbs with all the fresh home grown produce of the summer.  Stick to herbs that stay short and compact growing habit like chives, basil, lavender, parsley, mint, thyme or rosemary.  Snip the plants often to encourage full and bushy growth.  Never cut off more than 1/3 of the plant when harvesting as not to bring the plant into shock.  Remember, since you are eating these plants, only use fertilizer that is made for edibles and only apply it once a month.
