Nothing gives a garden salad more of a lift than adding a sprinkling of freshly chopped chives. They are also herbs that you can easily and inexpensively grow in your very own kitchen garden. Simply put, a window box or a collection of smaller containers set outside on your patio or balcony.
Containers come in all shapes and sizes.
Shop around and see what s available and what s the most appropriate for your needs and location. Most herbs will flourish in containers. Choose the herbs you reach for most often when cooking, and maybe even a few you ve never heard of before. With a little care and attention, a moderately sunny location and regular watering and fertilizing, herbs will produce abundantly all summer long. Snipping them regularly will maintain thick and healthy growth.
