There's really only one catch to growing herbs indoors, especially in the initial stages. These plants crave -- and need! -- ten to 12 hours of sunlight every day to thrive. And herbs prefer natural light to artificial, hands down. Before you make your final decision on what herbs to grow, take a good look at the sunlight that comes through your kitchen windows. This ultimately dictates which herbs you can grow. Got a southern or a western exposure? This means you've got a sunny, hot climate. If even your best windows don’t have much light, then consider investing in a grow light. This artificial lighting is relatively inexpensive and can be found at just about every nursery, discount store, and hardware store. Cheers, Carmel
