Fresh herbs are hard to get in the store, and the vegetables are less tasty than they were 4-5 months ago. So what do you do when spring comes calling and you find yourself in a small apartment with no garden to tend. Well you make your own indoors miniature garden 'course!
The first thing first: Planning the garden - getting what you need.
Seeds, pots, gravel, soil, tools. What do I need?
Well, earlier I found a picture of a light bulb terrarium and thought that would be something I'd like to try. And also I found some beautiful pictures of some miniature gardens. And naturally no miniature garden would be complete without a miniature tree like a bonsai tree.
The Light Bulb Terrarium
There are a lot of good tutorials on how to make these out there, and as soon as a light bulb goes out here I'll see if I can use it for a terrarium. I'll also see if I can find some nice vanity bulbs when I'm shopping next week.
The next thing: The miniature garden.
Oh I have lots and lots of ideas for this, but I'll have to limit myself a little bit. I also have to narrow down to what i have need for.
I use some herbs very often, so they should be the first ones i grow. Some of these are Oregano, Dill, Basil, Parsley and Rosemary. I have decided on getting small and individual pots for each herb and have them standing on trays in the window over my kitchen counter.
