For the past six years, one of my favorite year-round endeavors has been growing herbs using hydroponics. Thanks to today’s technology, anyone can cultivate fresh, healthy food from seed right at home. This post includes a detailed VLOG showcasing my top three herbs to grow during this season. You’ll discover just how simple it is with my handy tips and tricks.

Three Herbs to Grow from Seed Right Now

Hydroponics From Seed

Admittedly, narrowing it down to just three herbs was a bit challenging. Hydroponics makes it incredibly easy and affordable to use your favorite seeds. In fact, I’ve been able to grow nearly everything I cultivate outdoors in these straightforward setups you can find online. So, without further ado, here are my top three recommendations:

  1. Dill Bouquet
  2. Italian Large Leaf Basil
  3. Blue Spice Basil

Why These Three Herbs

In the video feature, I highlight how effortlessly these three plants thrive. Not only do they add beauty to your indoor space during the winter months, but their flavors are truly exceptional. Below, I will outline key features of each herb.

  • Bouquet Dill: This herb offers a fresh, yet mild dill flavor that I enjoy using in vegetable dips and on fish throughout the winter. However, its versatility extends beyond just winter dishes, making it a fantastic choice for window boxes and container gardens in the spring and summer.
  • Italian Large Leaf Basil: Without a doubt, this is the best basil for enhancing caprese salad and margherita pizzas.
  • Blue Spice Basil: This herb emits a refreshing scent that can uplift your spirits. A simple brush against its leaves is sure to bring a smile to your face.

As I mentioned in this post, it was challenging to select just three herbs to highlight since I cultivate many that are equally flavorful.
