Those who enjoy gardening go through a bit of withdrawal in the winter months. Never fear, your green thumb can get a workout with indoor herb gardening. With just a few items: seeds, pots, and quality soil mixture you can set up an indoor garden quite easily.
The herbs best grown indoors include parsley, chives, thyme, lemon balm, oregano, sage, basil and dill. Nothing spruces up your soups and salads better than fresh herbs, clipped right from the plant.
