Do you like having fresh herbs at your fingertips? Keeping them on a benchtop takes up space and they may not get enough light.

Install a wire rack between the upper cabinets flanking your kitchen window. You can set your plants where they’ll get plenty of light without blocking the view.

This also makes watering easy and keeps them available for snipping. Make sure to put the shelf high enough so you don’t bump into it when at the sink.
