You may not have space to have a lush garden, but just about everyone has space for a simple herb garden. All you need is a windowsill and a few seedlings from your local garden or hardware store.
Fresh herbs pump up the flavor in your favorite dishes, and you can collect exactly what you need from your own plants. Plus, you can make sure you never run out of your favorites.
If your plants get a little too overzealous, clip some to share with friends or neighbors. In fact, before you purchase herbs to grow at home, think about who you know who might already have herbs growing in their own home. Gardening enthusiasts—even those in very small spaces—are usually happy to share cuttings or smaller plants they’ve raised from their larger plants.
