Both the leaves and flowers of chives are used as flavouring. Herbs require at least six hours of sunlight. The planting container should be prepared to a depth of 8 to 12 in. Make sure the pot has good drainage, and wash the foliage when you water. The kitchen is a great place to grow herbs, which prefer high humidity.
Many kitchens have under-counter lighting, which also enhances herb growth.
Set the pots on a bed of pebbles in a tray. Keep the water level just up to the top of the pebbles, but not touching the pots. Triple Curled Parsley is used as an attractive garnish, and to add flavour to soups and sauces. A potted plant in the kitchen window can supply fresh cuttings all year. There are several types of basil, also well-suited to growing in kitchen environments.
