Things took a left turn for me about two and a half years ago. Hard to pinpoint why, but it could have been a classic case of having had a child and then being too tired to take anyone’s crap at work. It could have been simply needing a change. The culinary field wasn’t my first career afterall.

Tips for Growing Herbs Indoors
As a chef instructor and externship coordinator at Lincoln Technical Institute, Catherine Mirabilio prepares students for careers in the culinary arts. An avid gardener in her free time, Catherine Mirabilio also enjoys cultivating her own fresh herbs for cooking. An indoor herb garden brings a bit of the outdoors into the home and is an economical way to enhance recipes with more flavor. It is possible to purchase herbs at garden centers through the late fall, and some retailers even cut prices at that time to prepare for winter plants. It is best to cut off a section of approximately four inches, starting at the tip, and then place the stem into a moist, soil-free potting mix. Experts recommend gardeners prepare their plants for indoor cultivation by putting them in sheltered, unheated spaces, such as garages or entryways. The space should have plenty of sunlight. Once the herbs are fully indoors, south-facing windows are ideal as long as the temperature is not higher than the 70s. Temperatures should drop at least 10 degrees at night to simulate the experience of being outdoors. Herbs require regular watering but not to the point of oversaturation. A pot with good drainage helps maintain the proper level of hydration.
