Take heart! Even if you don't have a full sun deck or stoop (does anybody say 'stoop' anymore - or is that a Queens/Long Island thing?!) - you can still grow some of the more popular herbs.
The following herbs will tolerate part shade. Needing about 6 hours of light per day. And they all do well in containers. Just make sure to feed them every 2 weeks or so.
Mints
Dill
Parsley
Borage
Thymes
Oregano
Chamomile (pictured above)
Chives
Sages
Monarda
Lovage
Basil
Even though we have a lot of land, I still keep all of my herbs on our half-sun/half-shade deck . . . within shuffling distance of the kitchen. Alas, this girl from New York will always need a stoop-inspired container garden.
