dill, oregano, basil, chives and thyme are among the easiest to grow. they can be grown in small windowsill pots. start by filling your pot with lightly firmed potting mix. most herb seeds are tiny, so sprinkle them into your hand and spread them on the soil surface by pinching up a fingerful gently and spreading them. cover with no more than 1/4″ of loose soil. keep the soil moist, but not soaked. once your herbs sprout you can thin them if there appear to be too many, but most herbs do fine crowded some in the pot. keep the plants pinched back to encourage bushing rather than tall spindly plants- use the pinched leaves for seasoning your favorite dishes or dry them and put them into airtight bags or plastic containers.

mint is also a very good choice for windowsill planting, but it is harder to get it started from seed. if you can find a mint plant to start with they do propogate easily from cuttings. i love to keep a ot of fresh mint in my kitchen for tea!

North facing? Sorry, can’t think of any unless you have extra light supplied. Maybe parsley, if the plant is already established, but won’t grow much so you won’t be able to pick it! Don’t try, is my advice, sorry to rain on your parade.
