I love growing herbs and vegetables, both indoors and outdoors. For indoor ones, they’re a an inexpensive yet beautiful decoration for the room. For instance, a nice rosemary pot is great to place on working desk or near the window shutter. Some are started with seeds or seedlings while some are done with kitchen scraps, and herb trimmings. They bring me fresh vegetables and also make my house “greener”. Perfect, right?
