A windowsill is a farm

You don't need a yard to grow basil, parsley, and mint. A sunny sill and a pot will feed you all summer.

Herbs are the friendliest place to start. They don’t need a garden, just a sunny windowsill and a pot with a hole in the bottom.

Pinch the tops often: that’s the trick nobody tells you. Every time you take the top leaves, the plant gets bushier instead of taller and leggy. So the more you cook with it, the more it grows. Basil, parsley, mint, chives. Start with one.
