Growing your own herbs in a few pots on the windowsill is a simple alternative to a backyard garden (or a great addition if you want to do both). Most herbs require little attention and add a bit of flavor to your meals.
I planted several different types of herbs earlier this year and keep them in my kitchen near the sink.
Indoors away from pests, they might grow faster than you can eat them. To keep your herbs from getting too big, trim and dry them. I’ve tried clipping longer stems and hanging them upside down in a window. Individual leaves can also be plucked and dried. For the leaves, you’ll need a space where you can spread them out evenly.
Store dried herbs in containers where you store other spices. They’ll last about as long as their store-bought counterparts, as long as they are clean and thoroughly dry when they go into jars.
Use these printable jar labels to keep track of what you have. Each one features a simple green herb motif and space to write in the contents.
Using canning jar labels
Print on 8.5×11-inch paper and cut out the circles. I recommend card stock if you’re going to put these in canning jar lids. There are 9 labels on a page.
I designed these to fit inside the 2-part lid of a standard canning jar. Each label measures a smidge bigger than 2.5 inches. Alternatively, you could print these on label paper and stick them to the lid or side of any container.
For gifting, you could even punch a hole and tie the label to a container with string.
The labels are blank, but you can handwrite or type in the names. Read my tips for typing on PDF files before printing.
