Herb Garden Secrets

PDY asked:


I love fresh herbs and have an outdoor kitchen herb garden in the spring and summer each year. So I’ve become spoiled and no longer want to use dried, store bought herbs. This year I decided to make one indoors. I planted seeds of common kitchen herbs (parsley, rosemary, marjoram, etc) per seed package directions. They are in small pots on my kitchen counter with a grow light over them. I watered them thoroughly two days ago when I planted the seeds and assume I should water them a bit each day.

My questions: How long should it take before something green peeps out? Should I cover the pots with plastic wrap as suggested on one website to keep in moisture and heat? Anything else I should be doing.

Thanks for any help. I’ve never done seeds before – have always planted plants in the outdoor garden.

I’ve recently planted an herb garden. it’s about 1 week old and I planted herbs that have already grown (not seeds). They seem to be doing well and growing already, but wondering how often i should be watering them?

I live in an apartment on the 14th floor and don’t have a kitchen window or a yard to grow an herb garden. I do have a large sliding glass door to offer light. Is it possible to grow herbs from seed in my place? I do have a balcony, but Virginia gets too cold at times. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!
