Get fresh herbs year round
from potted indoor garden

AS FROSTY nights grow
closer many gardeners are
thinking about moving their
herbs indoors.

Even if you didn’t have a
garden this summer you can
still plant a few herbs to
grow indoors,

Lorraine Jordan is a local
expert on herbs,

She estimates she has 50-
60 different herbs growing
in a rambling garden bebind
her house north of Dutch
Valley.

Among those herbs she
points out four different va-
rieties of mint.

A strong lemon-mint odor

marks the start of her gar-.

den, while the other mint
herbs are scattered through-
out the garden.

She tried planting a batch
of catnip this year, and her
gray puss has given the herb
his approval — what's left
of it that is.

Lorraine uses many of the
herbs for culinary and for
medicinal purposes, For ex-
ample, sage is a spice and
can be used to soothe a soar
throat.

Before the discovery of
sulfa drugs and penicillin in
the 30s and 40s, herbs were
just about the only medi-
cines available.

In the middle ages many
Monasteries grew medicinal
herbs.

The Chelsea Physic Gar-
den, one of the oldest
English botanic gardens still
in existence, was orice an

herb garden.
Today herbs are mainly
used in kitchens. Many

herbs are easy to grow on a
window sill in the middle of
winter,

‘A lot of herbs are natural
to warm sunny Mediter-
ranean climates, so atieution
to sunlight and moisture is
imperative.

However, if daylight is
shorter than the period of
darkness and the house
temperature is too warm, the

uses the flowers to make

‘plant won’t flourish.

Sometimes during winter
months it’s better to use 2-4
fluorescent tubes attached to

an upper cupboard. Leave -

the light on 16 hours each
day.

Planis should be four to
six inches from the light
source and the average
house temperature should be
22-25 degrees C during the
day and 18-20 at night.

Herbs also need good
ventilation and like regular
misting.

If you're transplanting
herbs from your garden try
to disturb the roots as little
as possible. Cut the top
growth to the same length as

the roots.

Annuals like dill, chervil,
coriander and basil can be
grown from seed.

A soil mixture which
works well is potting soil,
peat moss, perlite and a
ibisp of campost or steril-
ized matuxe for each 5 inch
pot.

Some other good choices
of herbs to grow indoors are
mint, rosemary, sweet mar-
jorum and parsley.

Of if it’s easier for you to
buy herbs, Lorraine will be
selling them at the Skeena
Valley Farmer’s Market
Christmas sale. The sale
will take place at the end of
November,
