Parsley

It’s best if you put a pot of parsley very close to a window that is exposed to sunlight. This herb loves its fair share of rays, but it can also grow in a much darker spot. This makes it a very easy choice to start at your home.

Basil

You should definitely place your basil pot near the sun. This is a herb that thrives when close to sunlight. All you need is seeds and a pot to start growing it indoors. Definitely opt for the smaller types.

Thyme

Thyme is one of the easiest herbs to grow indoors. It does prefer sun, but that doesn’t mean it won’t grow if it’s not close to the window. Another huge plus is that it’s very easy to plant. So what are you waiting for?
