On the contrary, nowadays we have hundreds of types of grasses, pods, seeds and roots, which are added to the dishes in various forms.

In this section of our online garden store we offer you a wide variety of seeds of herbs and spices that you can grow yourself in your personal garden. You will find many spices, known and unknown, even exotic, as well as herbs widely used in both folk medicine and tea. Almost all of these crops can be grown both in pots on the balcony and in a larger area – in a garden or even a greenhouse, for more advanced gardeners in the field.

Whether in a pot or in the garden, it is always a pleasure to take care of spices and herbs, as in most cases their colors have an amazing aroma, and some of them will decorate the balcony with its pleasant color forms. Most of the spices contain essential oils, highly valued in the cosmetics industry and medicine. Some of them even have a very wide application and visible result after use. Unfortunately, they are extracted in special distilleries, which are mechanized and specially adapted for the production of oils.

However, growing such crops at home, you can take advantage of a number of other qualities that they possess.

Herbs and spices are herbaceous plants, some annuals, others perennials. Yields depend on the method of cultivation, the care you take for them, how often you water them and the light to which they have access. Most of these crops are light-loving, should be protected from winds and watered sparingly so that they are satisfied by water needs, but at the same time not overwater, as in this case there is a possibility of rotting plants in their basis.

Traditionally, herbs and spices are sown in early spring, but if you grow them on the balcony, the only rule you need to follow is to have an optimal positive temperature and enough light for development.

Basil, parsley and thyme, for example, grow well for most of the year, as long as you prune them regularly.

As for the seeds we offer, they are of proven quality, specially selected for you and, of course, at affordable prices for every pocket.
