Spanish Herbs
Growing your own herbs is easy and the garden centres here have a selection of herbs that will comfortably grow in a pot even in a window box.
The trick is to only water sparingly but never from the top, let the plant drink from it’s roots.
Just stand the pot on a saucer and water there.
