Growing Herbs Indoors. Growing Herbs Indoors By Conrad Richter Herbs are hot or cool, depending on your choice of slang adjectives.
Everyone seems to want to grow herbs these days. And why not? Herbs pay triple dividends in good looks, good flavors, and good scents. Herbs that Grow Well Indoors Not every herb likes indoor life. You can grow parsley in pots, but I prefer to bring in established plants from the garden at the end of the season. Unless light is plentiful, growth of most indoor herbs will slow or even stop during the winter, even with enough warmth. French tarragon and chives in particular benefit from a cool period. My mother, co-founder of Richters Herbs, grows herbs indoors in window boxes. How to Grow Herbs Indoors Herbs are sun worshipers for the most part. Provide light. Acclimate plants gradually. A plant that is adapted to abundant light often turns brown and drops leaves indoors. Rosemary is a case in point. Soil, fertilizer, and water. Watering is not a trivial matter with herbs.

If you’re looking for more wall art ideas for kids rooms, here are free printable 3D alphabet templates including all the letters from A to Z that you can print and make, to spell any words or phrases you like.
Each letter template is in black outline with grey shades on the sides of the letters so when you print them on colored papers, it adds a darker shade to the paper color for a nice detail and more 3D feel. The letters are based on a 3D styled font which renders itself perfectly to be made into actual 3D letters. The design is great for space and robot related words in striking colors but I printed them on pastel colored papers this time to give them a soft twist and they looked lovely!
I don't know how she does it : Succulent pumpkin. Confetti Sunshine: DIY herb wreath placesetting. Succulent Ball Topiary - Succulents and Sunshine. After seeing the beautiful succulent topiary balls at the Succulent Celebration in June I knew I wanted to try making one.

Inspired by the current interiors of Anthropologie, the amazing San Francisco oddity Paxton Gate and this recent tutorial from Emily Henderson, I've been trying to incorporate more houseplants as decor into our front room. The space is flooded with natural light, just perfect for green plants and my brown thumb. Today's DIY was a freebie for me; we had all the materials lying around, including these small coconut fiber pots- meant for planting directly into the ground. As succulents and cacti don't require much watering, you can use these containers as decorative pots for indoor use, just remember they will break down if they are kept damp. I don't know how she does it : Easy Kokedama. A rounded based plant surrounded by moss, is how I can very briefly describe how a Kokedama looks like.
There are some people that think this might be an evolved form of a bonsai, but for me it is like a mini- ecosystem as round and almost as perfect as our planet Earth. These plants are very easy to do and take care of. And the best part is that they can go almost anywhere in your home like a hanging garden. The selection of plants is of your choice, thought I recommend to keep in mind the place where this Kokedame is going to be living: direct sunlight, indirect, etc.

Making a Pea Trellis with Kids. This simple project is a great way to get the kids out in the garden for a little free labour…{ahem} I mean garden therapy.
Spring is the time to plant peas out in the garden. Seeds germinate well in cool soil so plants have a strong start by the time summer hits. I like to start my peas indoors then move the little vines out when they are strong enough, but you can also buy started pea plants at nurseries and farmers market this time of year. When you plant your peas they will start to ramble and tangle along the ground and the sweet tips get munched on by just about any vegetable loving creature you can imagine (slugs, snails, the darn dog!)
