Grow Herbs Indoors

Dave Hanson joins us to talk about growing herbs indoors over the winter. He’s the owner of Sage Garden Greenhouses and co-host of The Grow Guide podcast.

Dave Hanson from Sage Garden Greenhouses in Winnipeg, Manitoba tells us about growing herbs indoors.

Dave has joined us here on the show before to talk about exotic edibles.

Along with Sage Garden Greenhouses, he co-hosts The Grow Guide podcast.

We talk about:

  • Herbs that can be moved indoors from the garden

  • Seed-growing herbs indoors over winter

  • 3 bullet-proof herbs for growing indoors (for people like Steve…who has a habit of killing rosemary plants over the winter)

  • Lesser-known herbs that are well suited to indoor conditions

  • Indoor herb care and feeding

  • Potting soil for growing herbs indoors

  • Controlling pests on indoor herb plants

“Even though I’m a greenhouse grower, I like to un-complicate things!”
