What the French Keep on the Balcony

Today's Tip

Herbs, and not much else. A French balcony is a functional extension of the kitchen: parsley, thyme, chives, a bay tree if there is room. Decoration comes second.

Try This

Plant four pots of herbs you actually cook with, not the ones that look best. Put them within reach of the kitchen door, not at the far end.
