An easy way to eat better and save a good amount of money on your grocery bill would be to start growing your own herbs indoors. Regardless of what zone you live in, you can add an attractive indoor herb garden to your kitchen. All you need is a window with good light, a few pots, and seeds.
#1 CHIVES

Use chives in fresh salads, sauces or with other vegetables.

Mint lovers will find a wide variety of uses such as soups, salads and herbal teas.
Growing mint indoors is easy! Water your mint seeds well and place it in a location with indirect light, like a west or south facing window. Also try to keep the temperature of the room somewhere between 65-70 degrees F., no lower than 55 degrees F. at night. Mint plants need to be regularly watered, but not overly wet. When the soil on top is dry to the touch, then watering is needed. Just remember to keep it evenly moist. Rotate plants every 3-4 days to make sure the plants don't start to bend as they "reach" for any light coming through a window.
#3 ROSEMARY

Rosemary is an herb that pairs wonderfully with meat, especially chicken and lamb.

When cooking Italian cuisine, don't forget the oregano. A great addition for many sauces.

#5 THYME

If you cook fish often, consider growing thyme. It is also delightful on chicken.
Remember when choosing your containers, they'll need to fit on a windowsill. Usually, 4-inch pots work best.

Growing basil can easily be done year-round, indoors. Because it thrives in temperatures slightly above 70° F, an indoor location is ideal.
Basil is planted in the spring and dies at the first fall frost. It can be grown year-round indoors or in frost-free climate. Basil also needs daytime temperatures over 70° F and nighttime temps over 50° F. Basil thrives in warmer temperatures. Sow your seeds outdoors in spring, after all danger of frost has passed. Basil needs at least 6-8 hours of full sun each day, so keep that in mind when choosing a location to start your seeds. Try to space your basil plants about 12 inches apart.
