In autumn and winter, many people begin to feel nostalgic for aromatic greens and herbs with their amazing taste and smell.
It is extremely difficult to find such products in winter.
Greens are no longer so attractive and tasty, which cannot but make one sad. However, you can always grow herbs yourself, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer.
What to look out for
Dill with parsley
These are the most popular greens that go with almost any dish. The good news is that the plants feel great on the windowsill.
The first dill harvest can be collected after 1.5 months. It is better to keep an eye on the parsley: when it reaches 10 centimeters, you can safely eat it.
Salad
You can try growing any kind of lettuce right on your windowsill. You just need to choose a suitable container that takes into account the specifics of the plant. Preference is given to square-shaped containers. You will be able to enjoy fresh and environmentally friendly lettuce in just a few weeks.
Onion
This plant is on many windowsills, as green onions can be safely classified as undemanding crops. It is important to remember that the plant will not only make your food brighter, but also more useful.
Other options
Many people grow oregano at home. It is important to harvest it before it blooms. The same rule applies to all varieties of basil, which also grows well at home.
You can even grow sage on your windowsill. The plant is most useful when it is in bloom.
