Ruth asks…
where i can download “home and garden” magazine(pdf) or decoration magazine ?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Most print magazines aren’t available for download like that. If they were, why would people actually buy them?
However, many magazine have their own websites with decorating tips & ideas in addition to the print version. Here are a couple:

Herb garden?
I would love to grow my own fresh herbs and spices. Is it ok to grow them indoors or should I wait for the summer to start? Also any websites or books you can offer for suggestions would be most helpful. I live in an apartment with a balcony so growing one in a garden won’t do. Thanks
GardenersCardiff answers:
I grew herbs on our balcony and in my bedroom window (it’s the only place that gets enough sun!)
I subscribe to a magazine called The Herb Companion. It’s a great source of information. The USDA has a web page with links about herb growing too.
Have fun!

Susan asks…
I want to grow my own herbs?
Where can i find seeds or starters, for basil, rosemary and the such?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Your local garden center or nursery. And come spring, often even home improvement stores that have “home & garden” section will have both plants and seeds.
Ken asks…
Growing herbs in upstate new york?
I’m looking to grow my own herbs this year… I cook a lot and I don’t like having to pay $5-$10 for flavorless dry herbs when I can grow them at home.
I’m looking to grow basil, parsley, cilantro, mint, sage, and lavender. I intend on growing them in their own individual containers hanging over a railing, as we have a family of rabbits living underneath our deck.
Where can I buy the seeds? When should I start growing them?
Any advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
GardenersCardiff answers:
Walk into any hardware store, or a Target or Wal-mart. They all have those seeds. You’ll need containers, soil, and plenty of sunlight. It is still a bit cold to start the seeds outside, so use a sunny window for now. Then when it warms up, move the herbs outside.
If you get too many herbs, and need to trim the plants, go ahead and trim the extra herbs, then hang them upside down to dry. Fresh dried herbs taste better than store bought.
Sharon asks…
Help with growing herbs?
I want to create a herb garden but I don’t know what herbs to grow. Also, does anyone know anything about herb to herb companion growing?
oh. right. sorry. I live in Australia, in the Central West part of NSW
GardenersCardiff answers:
Hi; Why not grow herbs you may use in cooking? Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley _Italian and curled, coriander.
They can all be grown now. Herb to herb companion planting I dont think is a big issue, but alot of herbs are used as companion planting with vegetables. Eg, garlic with roses (to keep aphids away), wormwood in the vegie garden to keep white moths at bay, etc. Go to your local nursery and see what herbs they have in stock, im sure you will find plenty that you just MUST have and goodluck. Im sure you will love growing your own herbs.
Cheers
