Frequently Asked Questions
Which herbs are best for natural pest repulsion?
Lavender, Lemon Tagetes, and Mint are famous for their ability to deter mosquitoes, aphids, and other bothersome garden insects.
How do I ensure my herbs have the strongest flavor?
Most herbs produce the most potent oils when grown in full sun and slightly 'stressed' with moderate watering, rather than being over-fertilized.
Can aromatic herbs be grown successfully indoors?
Yes, as long as they have a south-facing window. Lemon Geranium and Garlic Chives are particularly well-suited for bright indoor windowsills.
Why is regular harvesting important for herbs?
Harvesting prevents the plant from putting energy into seed production (bolting). Frequent clipping keeps the foliage young, tender, and flavorful.
