Some handy tips before you start:
Herbs love the sun, simple as that! That's exactly why windowsills, open kitchen decks or fire escapes often prove to be the best areas to grow herbs. They grow to be incredibly vibrant, beautiful and lush if you give them enough sun.

However, they don't need too much fertilizer input from you. If you want your herbs to be fragrant and flavourful, make sure the soil is slightly on the lean side. Also, water correctly, as per the requirement of the plant because some do prefer slightly drier conditions. Finally, ensure that your pots or containers have enough drainage.
