Do you grow herbal houseplants? When it comes to plants, I have two significant loves – herbs and succulents. My first major success with plants was basil and rosemary plants, and both were my pride and joys until I gifted them to someone else when we moved years ago. I have always found that houseplants do better indoors, at least for me, since you can control their environment and make sure horrible pests don’t eat away at your culinary delights. Hoping to expand my herbs indoors, I was excited to get a new gardening guide on herbs – Herbal Houseplants: Grow Beautiful Herbs – Indoors.
