Six herbs for the windowsill
You don't need a garden — a sunny sill grows a working tea shelf. These six are forgiving, useful, and happy in pots.
| Herb | Light | Why it earns the spot |
|---|---|---|
| Mint | bright light | endless tea, impossible to kill |
| Thyme | full sun | steams, soups, and stock |
| Rosemary | full sun | memory of every kitchen |
| Lemon balm | morning sun | tea straight off the stem |
| Sage | the dry side | gargles and gravies alike |
| Chamomile | a deep pot | flowers worth the wait |
