Start a windowsill or balcony herb garden

Easy5 points

How to do this

  1. Pick herbs that grow well in the UAE — mint, basil, coriander, parsley.
  2. Use small pots with drainage holes and good potting soil.
  3. Place on a windowsill or balcony with morning sun and afternoon shade.
  4. Water regularly — pots dry out fast here — and harvest leaves as they grow.
  5. Photograph your herb garden.
