Can you grow herbs on windowsills or will they get too leggy?

    Some herbs are easily grown on a south or west facing windowsill. All herbs do best with bright sunlight. If you don’t have enough light there are many lights available for purchase that made especially for this purpose. Some herbs that are easy to grow are Chives, Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano, Basil and Parsley. As with all plants, good soil and drainage are critical.
