PLANTING ADVICE How can I make an indoor garden to keep my herb growing hobby going over winter? Growing herbs indoors is a great way to bring some greenery into the kitchen – and it’s useful to have them to hand when cooking. Hardier herbs, like rosemary, can survive even in snow, but most herbs are best brought indoors and placed in a sunny window. You could buy a set of three pots with one herb in each – say, basil, mint and oregano – or plant multiple herbs in longer containers, in which case you’ll need to group them by growing conditions. Keep them away from radiators and other heat sources, but also make sure they’re protected from draughts from leaky windows.
