You can bring your herb garden indoor in winter by planting a windowsill garden. Pakistani ladies who are fond of gardening can plant many herbs in containers which require minimal care and are easily cooked.
You can plant a windowsill garden in 20 minutes and here is how you can do it:
- First of all make sure that you have a sunny windowsill for herbs. For a perfect windowsill garden, a window towards south or southeast would be best as it gets five hours sun per day.
- Also purchase some of your favorite small herb plants from any Pakistani nursery.
- Get hold of a container that is at least 6-12 inches deep. Any Pakistani gardener can plant multiple herbs in wide or long containers.
- Use a soil-less potting mix and make sure that mix is light and will be well draining for windowsill garden.
- Put a two-three inch layer of potting mix into the bottom of your container and then position your herb plants in the container.
- Finish filling in with the potting mix, firming gently around the plants. Leave about an inch at the top of the container for watering.
- Water sparingly and feed once a month with a fertilizer labeled for use on edibles garden.
- Allow the plants of herbs to acclimate for sometime. Once you see new growth, you can start using your herbs.
