Organic Indoor Herbs: End of Week 4

 Organic Indoor Herbs

    It is completely ridiculous to walk into my indoor garden because with your first step in, all you smell are the fresh herbs I have been nurturing since they were seeds. And I would do the whole process over and over again, because it is incredible. I am currently going to expand my culinary herbs and tea herbs so I can teach and share my knowledge of these precious little plants. There are so many uses, culinary wise and medicinal wise, for these herbs to be used that it is truly mind boggling. There are countries and villages all over the world that still use natural medicine over today's pharmaceuticals.

Organic Indoor Herbs

    Each and every herb I grow is extremely special to me because I first started tending an herb garden when I was an extremely young boy with my grandfather and uncles. So to me it is more than just a hobby it is a moment of time I love to enjoy with my loved ones, friend or family. It is an extremely useful thing, growing your own culinary herbs. I never find myself running to the market for the ever so forgotten cooking herbs that are always left once we rush out of the store.

    Thank you guys for reading my grow-log and following it as well. It is always an amazing thing to share my passion for gardening with you, the world. Keep a look out for my future posts, I will be blogging like a mad-man soon enough! It's been awesome to share my thoughts and information with you good folk. Until next time....

Indoor Garden Solo Cup Update: Start of Week 2


    How amazing is all that growth?! Look at the vibrant green showing. It is just absolutely awe inspiring that with my little effort of help, has granted these plants the ability to produce healthy and fresh energy for me to consume. I water each one once every other day, which is about when the soil starts to dry out. That in itself takes only about 5 minutes of my time! I'm quite amazed with the progress, for me this show of growth is usually between week three and week four. I am going to grow everything in these Solo Cups until about 9 weeks so the roots will be super strong and healthy for when I transplant them outside into my outdoor garden. I will eventually thin out my tomatoes and peppers to their own individual Solo Cups, in order to let the plant mature properly.


    This is by far the cheapest way to go about getting your rare herbs for your signature dishes. You normally will pay $5.99 to $8.99 for an ounce of rare cooking herbs, but if you grow them it'll cost you around $1.00 to $1.50. Not only are you saving money, you are learning about the food you use and eventually can pass on your talent to other people so they can enjoy easy access to an item that costs quite a bit for what it's really worth at the Market.


    I cannot say enough how rewarding growing your own food can be, especially since it's started in a drink cup! Ever since I planted my first tomato plant, I started growing everything I could that is edible. I share this lifestyle with my family, friends, people I meet on the street and you my readers. I bought these cups at the dollar store, and they are completely efficient. The lights I am using is an one hundred watt fluorescent lights on a ballast. The cups are about a foot away from the lights right now to promote seed growth and to enhance the sprouting rate from the heat the light gives off. These plants should look really pretty around late January to early February.


    Nothings better than being able to share my life with you guys. It's awesome. I truly love gardening it is one of my greatest passions and it brings me peace to my life. A complete stress reliever. Try gardening sometime and may you sow your rewards to reap later! Until next time...
