I have been a nature lover for many years, in my garden I plant many plants and among so many that of them are aromatic plants. My favorite aromatic plants are basil, rosemary and cilantro.

Basil:

My basil plants are the easiest ones to plant, transplant, and harvest. I can get a new plant from a stem of the mother plant. A stem is cut and then placed in soil with abundant organic compost and in 15 days there will be a new plant.

These are plants that are not perennial, this means that they have a life span and when they complete their life cycle they die.

When do they die? After their flowering their leaves begin to dry and its stems, which become woody, dry out. The flowers dry up and everything withers, but their seeds remain in the ground, if they find good conditions to be born and germinate, many new plants will be born to repeat the same cycle.

Rosemary:

The next plant in my garden is rosemary. It's a perennial plant, unlike basil, the rosemary plant remains as a shrub that will be aromatizing the environment for many years.

This plant is a bit more difficult to reproduce, difficult but not impossible. It's advisable to cut a strong branch from the mother plant and place it in water for a few days. After a week the branch or stem of the plant will have roots and we can plant it in a pot or in the ground, but always in soil with abundant organic compost.

Coriander:

The next plant is coriander. It's a short-lived aromatic plant. It grows from a seed, develops like a small bush and when it blooms and its flowers dry the plant also dies, but it leaves the seeds to continue reproducing.

You only need a balcony, a terrace or a window where the sun enters and stays for about 6 hours. Then you get a suitable pot for what you want to plant. with good soil and sowing ... the feeling is magnificent!

That's the thing with being in the city. It's too hot that the sunlight will end up killing the plant or there's honestly no space where i can grow them

It's a real shame. wanting to sow and not being able to. I have planted my whole life in pots.

Wherever I lived, I planted in my pots. When I was rented, the owners of the house told me why I could plant in my pots and they, who were the ones who had the whole garden, did not. I do not know. I like it, maybe they don't!

I've been trying to get one of those hanging planters for one of the walls because i really want to plant herbs. It feels like such a waste to keep buying those when they're so easily cultivated

It is true! it's the easiest thing to do. And the best thing is that you go to your window, take your pot and choose a branch of your basil, your mint, your rosemary, your chives ... and they give such an exquisite flavor to your meals that later you will not want to buy them again , but keep sowing.

Hope you can get it cheap. I think many of us were affected by the bot. Also because before there were more people commenting. I don't think they were all spam. Let's keep writing, that's still worth it. You can make an aerial pot by recycling plastic bottles. I do it and they work.

I have a huge garden but nothing grows over here and inside it's too dark and by now cold too. Mainly grey days. At times rain and it will be days filled with fog again. I remember the first place I lived in, an apartment. So many plants, herbs I had. It all grew. The li ing, balcony, kitchen. Today or at least this weekend I hope to plant something outside again. Let's hope it will survive the winter and it's not a waste of money again.

I wish I had fresh herbs but the only one I have is dried and frequently not such great quality.
