There’s nothing quite like the taste of fresh herbs in your meals. The good news? You don’t need a big backyard or a green thumb to grow your own! Whether you have a sunny windowsill, a balcony, or a tiny patio, you can enjoy homegrown herbs year-round. Here’s how to get started, even with limited space.
3 Easy Herbs to Grow in Small Spaces
3 Easy Herbs to Grow in Small Spaces
1. Basil
Basil is a fantastic herb for beginners because it grows quickly and thrives indoors. Place it near a sunny window, water it regularly, and pinch off flowers to encourage leaf growth. Fresh basil is perfect for pasta, pesto, and salads!
2. Mint
Mint is almost impossible to kill, making it great for new gardeners. It grows well in pots (which is a good idea since it spreads aggressively). Use it for teas, cocktails, or refreshing fruit salads.
3. Chives
Chives are low-maintenance and grow well in small containers. They need at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Simply snip off what you need for garnishing soups, eggs, and potatoes.
