Many Sunglasses
Herbs love lots of light. When choosing a location for your plants, look for an outdoor area or window that gets 5-7 hours of direct sunlight each day.
Well drained
Whether you are planting your herbs in containers or garden, start by testing your soil for nutrients and pH. It may be necessary to adjust the pH of your soil pH near neutral of 6-7 that Herbs grow best in you'll also want to add a layer of compost organic minerals in the soil before planting.
enough water
Herbs like well-drained soil, but well-drained soil must be watered more often. Do not just water on a whim. Stick your finger down into your soil approximately 1 "to 1-1/2". There is no need to water unless your soil feels almost dry to the touch.
Three Golden Rules for fertilizing your herbs
Fertilizer is often called "plant food." The most important thing to remember when feeding your herbs – use only organic products. Remember, you will take a lot of what you grow. If you do not want to use chemicals, do not use your herbs.
Second golden rule – feed your herbs a healthy diet.

Your plants need nitrogen as minor elements called micronutrients, which contain minor elements required by your plants to grow.
Finally.
Feeding your plants through their leaves (foliar feeding). Foliar fertilization is 100-500% more effective than root feeding and offers faster results. Search of organic foliar fertilizer and trace elements. Spray all the leaves of your grass every 1-4 weeks.
Harvesting and storage
Once your herbs are established, it is important to reduce them on a regular basis. Never harvest more than 1 / 3 of each individual herb. The best time to harvest your herbs is in the morning when the oils are always available in their leaves. Harvest your herbs before they flower. This will prevent them put forth seed and encourage more vigorous green growth.
You can use your herbs right away, refrigerate or put in a plastic bag freezer bag and freeze up to 6 months.

Or garnish a plate of fruit, vegetables fresh salads with your fresh herbs. Their use is as simple as they grow.
