Spices are a must-have in any kitchen. Depending on how much you enjoy cooking, you may have an ample collection or maybe you rely on the basics. But did you know some spices are actually easy to grow at home? Cultivating your own is economical and a great way to participate with the cyclical process of the food and seasonings we eat. Most spices travel thousands of miles before reaching our kitchen.
Many of these spices can be planted in early spring or fall and will be dependent on your geographical region. You can start from seed or if you want a head start, purchase seedlings at your local nursery or garden center. All of these can be sown directly into the soil, in a garden box, or in spacious containers.
When the seeds are ready to harvest, you'll need to dry them in an area—outdoors or indoors—where there is plenty of air circulation and not direct sunlight. Afterwards, you can store your spices in reusable glass jars or containers you already have at home.
