Obsessed With: Indoor Herb Gardens

My current obsession is still--- plants!


My husband and I have recently been talking about creating our own herb garden in the kitchen.
So I wanted to share some tips I have come across.


What better way to be more green.
Color wise and environmentally too.


First things first-- finding the best spot for them to grow.
We don't have the largest kitchen, so I find that these wall mount options are the best for a small space.











Next up, finding the best type of plants to grow in your home.

Lemongrass

(Slightly moist soil and partial sun)





Mint
(Bright indirect sun)





Parsley
(Start with a seed, requires minimal attention. Grow in medium to large pot and keep in partial sun)





Chives
(Place near a bright window facing the east, with moist soil)

Cilantro

(Grow in a deep container, keep in south or west facing window)





Sage
(Keep in south or west facing window that receives plenty of sun)





Thyme
(Requires at least 5 hours of sunlight daily)








Dill
(A minimum of a 10" deep container is required, keep in a spot that receives at least 5 hours of sun daily, water only when top 1" soil seems dry)



A few other herbs that can grow on a sunny windowsill--
Rosemary, Oregano, Basil & Tarragon.






I hope these tips help you as well.
Happy Planting!

March: Recipe Recap

I typically try to keep my posts stickily about design.
But recently, I had the idea- that maybe you would like if I shared some of my recipes finds with you.
I feel like cooking is just another way to be creative and experiment.

So, I plan to do a monthly "Recipe Recap". Sharing my favorite recipes from the previous month.
Of course-- I find most/all from pinterest!


















I hope you enjoy these, as much as my family and I did.
Stay tuned for next months round up.
