Basil: Do you regularly buy basil in the supermarket? Then it's worth planting your own. You will need a sunny spot on the balcony for this, because as a Mediterranean herb, basil loves sun and warmth. If you love Italian cuisine with pasta, pesto, salads and the like, you should dedicate your own balcony box to this aromatic herb, as you can never have enough to season and use.

Chives: The long, slender herb, reminiscent of blades of grass, is a classic in the kitchen. Chives taste just as good on a sandwich as with jacket potatoes with quark. You can buy the herb or sow it - the important thing is that the pot is not in full sun, but in a shady spot. You should also keep the soil moist. You can also eat the purple flowers - they also look particularly decorative! Recipe tip: Bread topped with herb butter and cheese

Mint: The aromatic mint is a wonderful herb - it tastes great freshly brewed as a tea or chopped up in fruit salads and oriental dishes. Desserts are also often served with mint. It is worth taking a closer look at mint, as there are different varieties that smell of strawberries, for example. Mint needs nutrient-rich, moist soil and prefers to grow in partial shade.
