(Intro) Hi my name is Kayla Smith and in this tutorial we’ll plan,
plant and preserve an indoor herb garden. To begin, you’ll need
to select and measure a sunny south or east facing window sill.
I’ll show the one I’ve chosen a bit later in the video.
(Phase 1) This is a great project if you’re new to gardening and
planting herbs can save you time and money. Here in front of
me are the additional items you’ll need: 1) some potting soil
which should contain perlite, a volcanic glass w/high water
content. The soil should also have peat moss in it. 2) Seeds or
seedlings - today, I’m also using this windowsill greenhouse to
help my herb selection grow. I will then transplant some of them
into a makeshift planter using this container. I’ve chosen one
that I can easily put holes through and you’ll also notice how it
has a sort of ridge at the bottom that will provide some extra lift
for drainage. That brings me to item 3) use your windowsill
measurements to decide which type of pots to purchase. You
can source all of these items from a local home improvement or
gardening center.

greenhouse, but first I want to walk you thru the steps if you’re
using the soil and pot or seedling methods. If you have
seedlings you’ll need larger pots, whereas if your planting
seeds you can use smaller ones or even some Styrofoam cups

window selected by the host as additional
supplies, tools and steps needed for preserving
phase of the herb garden are explained and
dissolves into next position.
(Phase 3) Once you’ve sown your seeds you’ll place
them in your selected windowsill. They’ll need at
least 6 hours of indirect sunlight during the
germination stage and frequent monitoring for
maintenance. 1) Make sure your herb garden stays
moist - water from the bottom as some plants don’t
like their leaves wet. 2) Snip and trim, cutting at soil
level to prevent overcrowding.

(Phase 3 cont’d) 3) As pruning allows for bushy
growth, you can then snip sprigs for cooking in you
favorite recipes - be sure to wash your herbs
thoroughly and use them immediately. 4) Leave at
least one sprig so your plants continue to grow and
remain healthy. 5) I’m sure you’ll love your
homegrown herbs but if you find that neglect or
overcrowding occurs from poor maintenance, cut
them down just above the soil and new tender
shoots will begin to sprout.

Next, I’ll transfer my perennials into the makeshift

planter I talked about earlier. I also encourage
talking to them as plants are living things that we
often use for nourishment. In the case of our herbs,
we’ll can use them to enhance our cooking or other
meals and even is drinks if you’re planting mint or
multi-use herbs.
