Grow herbs on your windowsill
Fresh herbs on the windowsill brighten up your food and save money. Success depends above all on light and the right watering.
You will need
- Pots with holes in the bottom, and saucers
- Herb soil or seed compost
- Seeds or a supermarket herb pot
- Spray bottle
- A grow light for winter if needed
Steps
