How to keep herbs happy

Many of our customers have shared their issues with herbs.... It's so difficult to keep them alive!

They look wonderful when you first buy them (or once they start growing.... if you're green fingered).  Perched on the windowsill, in the beautiful sunshine, then they slowly.... die.

The trick is to keep them in a bright and sunny place and water them little and often.

Our favourite tip is to buy a pretty watering can which can sit on the windowsill next to them, and give them a little drink each day when you make your morning coffee.

Simple?  There is an alternative... cheat! 

These little beauties are artificial... but look very realistic! Shop here

Pop them in our pretty zinc twinpot for a great windowsill feature. They look real don't they?!

If you want to know more about growing herbs (and keeping them alive!), Stylist magazine have created a fab infographic on when to sow and when to harvest a whole range of herbs. Check it out here

Happy growing :-)
