Great Tips Kitchen Herb Gardening
The more obvious reason for cultivating herbs is the benefits you can derive when adding them to food. They simply make any dish special. People have been growing kitchen herbs because they have discovered what a little amount of herb can do to their regular meals.
There are many varieties of herbs to choose from. If you are really interested in growing kitchen herbs, choose the ones that are regularly used. Basil has been a classic in any kitchen. It is the main ingredient for making pesto pasta, and is also used in making soups and sauces. The pungent taste of basil also makes a good combination with any tomato dish. Basil is a tender annual, and will not live in winter, unless transferred indoors. It is a sun-loving herb that can be propagated through seeding.
Another sun-loving herb which loves rich soil is chive. Chive is a hardy perennial that can be planted in the fall or spring. When planting, keep each herb 9-12 inches apart. Add in mulch to ward off weeds. Chive has dark green leaves with a weak onion taste, which makes it a fine addition to baked potatoes and dips.
The leaves and seeds of dill can be used to enhance the flavor of fish, poultry and other meat products. This herb has a strong taste, and a little bitter. It is also a fine addition to salads and soups. Dill thrives in a slightly acidic soil, ranging from 5.8 to 6.5 pH. A sun-loving herb, it prefers a sandy or loamy well-drained soil. You can plant dill in early spring by sowing the seeds in a 1/4inch deep soil. Also keep each plant 9 inches apart.
A close relative of dill, fennel is likewise a fine seasoning to fish and meat. Soups and salads can also be spiced up by this herb. The leaves have a sweet flavor while the seeds taste sharper. Planting fennel is similar to dill, except that the distance between plants should be one and half feet. Add lime in case the pH level of soil falls below 6. Take note not to interplant fennel with dill, or they will cross pollinate.
Parsley is yet another classic that has been used for generations. It is a popular seasoning in fancy dishes and also in home-made soups. It is also added to salads and omelets. This plant can thrive in partial shade to full sun, and prefers a richly fertilized soil. Parsley can be planted in mid spring or mid summer. You can sow seeds, or better yet, buy a young plant and transfer in your garden.
Growing kitchen herbs can give you much pleasure, particularly when you eat what you spent time nurturing for.
Herb gardening is a great way of getting more out of your home space, the kitchen is just one way to start growing herbs.
