A simple roasted eggplant becomes an amazing appetizer when roasted with pesto sauce on top. Add fresh chives to your cream-cheese bagel, and breakfast is not so boring anymore. Add some mint and basil leafs to your next green Salad. Use fresh thyme or Rosemary, or both, when roasting chicken next. The list is simply endless.<\/p>\n<p>For a limited space, I would recommend sticking with some basics: all you need is sun, plenty water, and the herbs will do the rest. My <strong>MUST HAVE<\/strong> list includes Sweet Basil, Parsley, Rosemary, Thyme and Mint. <strong>Important<\/strong> yet take second seat are Chives, Oregano, Sage, Cilantro and Dill.
