Fresh ingredients make all the difference

To grow your own mint or coriander

Hopefully the guide might inspire you to grow your own fresh mint and/or coriander at home.

When you are cooking fresh herbs tend to make a real difference to the results. Herbs are really easy to grow at home and many of them grow really fast.

It’s not very difficult to grow your own at home – either outdoors or even indoors (in your kitchen, spare bedroom, garage, etc.

All you will need are seeds or plug plants, growing system and some growing lights. Please note that especially mint does tend to grow very fast, which is great if you want to use it in recipes.
