    I get a joy in my heart when I'm cooking dinner, and the thought pops into my head, "This dish could use a little bit of thyme! (or whatever herb it might be)" I run outside to the backyard, happy as a clam, and pull off what I need from the herb garden. It's so much fun cooking like that.

  • @missiworld
    @missiworld Před 7 lety +133

    Pro tip: keep the mint far far far away from the other plants and in their own separate soil. They are incredibly invasive and will overtake all other plants if given the opportunity. Also, if you live in a climate with a cold winter (so, you know, not California), you can always bring these plants inside during the cold seasons so that they last for years. I've had rosemary growing outdoors in the summers and indoors during the winters for the past few years, and it brings such amazing warmth and vibrancy to my kitchen during those dreary months.

      @@rayray8389 Suggestion for keeping away bugs on your herbs:
      20 drops of peppermint oil and/or rosemary,
      5 drops of dish detergent and a gallon of water.
      Early in the morning, spray your mixture on your herbs weekly or as needed.

      I agree! I am originally from a farm. So, I like gardening a lot. Once, I bought some heirloom tomatoes from a Safeway grocery store. I kept some of the seeds from the tomatoes. Later on, I remembered I had them. I planted them. They got really tall. In my area of Canada, we have a growing season from May to around September ( if it doesn't snow like it did in early May, before getting hot ), it is ample time to get a good garden. I have an east facing window, so I can also plant things like basil, oregano and rosemary inside.

    Cool!
    Some varieties of mint can be invasive and "competitive" with each other, so have that in mind when planting them, better have them in an individual pot!
    Also, when cutting the tips of the plants, if you're not using them right away, you can place them in a glass with water under the sun, it depends on the plant but after a few days or couple of weeks they'll start growing roots and be ready to plant :)

    Great looking herb container and pretty clay pots. Just to note that herbs like chives and especially basil still do require good amount of fertiliser and they do need alkaline soil to thrive, basil especially thrives better if it's potted with rich but well draining soil. Mint needs moist environment and it's better to be left in a part shade (morning sun and afternoon shade).

    This is the first year I plant a garden and I'm LOVIN' IT! I have basil and last week I made pesto which turned out delicious I just had it with ravioli last night for dinner. It makes a difference when you just go outside to get the herbs you need.

    Thank you SO much for doing this video, Chef John! I recently started my own little herb pot :) A couple of questions:
    1) How do you store the fresh herbs if you're not ready to use them?
    2) How do you keep cilantro from dying? [mine died]

    • @RainbowGardens
      @RainbowGardens Před 9 lety +24

      ***** Hi! I like to store my herbs in a glass on my window sill. However, some of the soft herbs like cilantro, dill, and chervil do best when washed, wrapped loosely in a paper towel, put in a plastic bag and stored in the produce drawer of your refrigerator. Cilantro is an herb which MUST be planted by seed every 2 weeks to use it regularly (continuous harvest). It does not last long and will quickly "bolt" and go to seed. You will notice the leaves get very small and it begins stretching up through the center. It will produce flowers next. After it produces flowers, it will produce seed (tiny green balls). They will turn brown and then you harvest it, let it dry. Guess what you have? Dried Coriander! This is what you buy when you purchase ground coriander in the market in the US. Happy Gardening! :) I will upload a video on how to grow Cilantro very soon. It is one of my favorite herbs.

    • @Poenut
      @Poenut Před 9 lety +5

      Rainbow Gardens wow--thanks! Yeah, my cilantro looked somewhat perky when I planted it, but then quickly fell flat and then went squishy and brown. Ew. heh. And you know it may be a regional thing or something to do with our humidity here in Alabama [?] because all the cilantro I've seen for sale around here was lanky looking or lying brown in the dirt like mine.
      p.s. I'll be on the lookout for your video!

    • @RainbowGardens
      @RainbowGardens Před 9 lety +5

      ***** Great! I am from Georgia and now reside in North Carolina. Cilantro does not like the heat of the south. My advice (until I get the video compiled) buy a pack of cilantro seed and observe your yard during the heat of the day. Look for an area which only receives about 3 hours of direct sun and plant some seeds there. Water every other day for about 2 weeks and they will pop up! Repeat and plant some more seed when they pop up and just continue until late November. :)

    • @Poenut
      @Poenut Před 9 lety +2

    • @LeviathanStorm38
      @LeviathanStorm38 Před 9 lety +1

      ***** Some plants will actually come back annually if you just leave them be through the colder months. Like our Oregano and Parsley have come back every time for the past 3 years. I will say though, that I think oregano should have its own planter, because it definitely can get out of hand quickly.

Besides, a lot of great creative geniuses and musicians have been heavy drug users. (though personally I do not condone heavy drugs)
