VHS: Growing Herbs at Home

Hey there, I'm Emanuel J. Lacy, and this is my garden.

Flowers, crops, and trees all beautiful to look at, perfectly balanced with nature.

But I didn't start out with a big dream.

I started with some pots of parsley, and a dream.

Herbs are the perfect place to start your gardening or farming life.

Simple to grow, there's still some tricks that will help you get the best herbs.

Each has a growing season, as you can see on-screen now.

Basil, chives, cilantro, oregano...

... parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.

Sounds like a song. Hehe.

Most herbs can be grown from seed, but it's best to grow from cuttings if you can.

Start them in pots near the end of winter, then plant them outside.

They all grow best in full sun, on well drained soil.

That's about it. You'll soon have some healthy herbs...

... and be ready to move on to something more complex.

Until next thyme. Hehe.
