As the last two years I also want this year to grow herbs that I can use with my recipes. I already bought last Sunday a nice planter. Today I bought the first herbs: Mint [Dutch: Munt], parsley [Dutch: Peterselie], chive [Dutch: Bieslook] and coriander [Dutch: Koriander]. They may now first grow stronger before I start using them. Not much can beat fresh herbs.
What else I would love to have in the planter are basil [Dutch: Basilicum] and thyme [Dutch: Tijm]. Should not be very hard to get those as well.
A little frost will not be a problem, but I hope we will get no real strong frost again. Anyway, it feels good to be working on my balcony again *smiles*
