Written by Cultivating herb plants indoors isn’t necessarily the simplest method to follow, but when the days get short and the frost blankets the rest of your outside plants, you will be glad that you have a few indoor plants. And the kitchen is the ideal place to cultivate your herbs, simply because that is where you are more likely to use them.
I have a big, southward window in my kitchen that allows full, rich sunshine to flow over my kitchen table on sunny days. That’s where I keep my herb plants over the winter, for convenience and because south-facing windows give better light. Some sunshine is better than none at all, so don’t fret if the window doesn’t face south.
It usually doesn’t do well to move your herb plants from outside to indoors so for the most success, I recommend that you begin with a potted plant from your local market, home improvement store, nursery or greenhouse. I usually just allow my annuals to go at the end of the season and get new, special indoor annuals for the winter.
