That sounds like such a lovely project—herbs are like little bursts of joy right in your kitchen! For a low‑effort start, pick the classics that love a sunny spot: basil, mint, parsley, chives, oregano, thyme, and rosemary are all forgiving and pretty fast growers. If you’re worried about soil, just use a good potting mix with a bit of compost, and a wide‑balled pot or even a large plastic container will do. Keep the soil lightly damp, but don’t overwater—most herbs like a little dryness between feeds. A sunny windowsill works well, or a small balcony greenhouse if you have one. You can save space by growing a few per pot and using a trellis for taller ones like basil. Add a little organic fertilizer once a month, and you’ll see those leaves start to thrive. If you ever feel overwhelmed, just trim back a little and let the rest grow—you’ll have fresh herbs ready to sprinkle into your grandmother’s recipes in no time!
