growing herbs?

Hi eHi everyone!
     This is my first post here so i hope it ends up in the right place Smile But had anyone attempted to grow their own herbs aside from dill or chives?

I have a big garden which is going mostly into potatoes, onions and beans this year but would also like to start a few novelty items.

Any tips and tricks are much appreciated Smile

RE: growing herbs?

I have started some herbs inside (I want an indoor herb garden). My mom always starts her plants in small containers so they grow faster. She says the growth above ground will be inhibited until the roots reach the bottom of the container.

I just had four inch pots that I planted my herbs in, and they are doing quite well. I planted them in February, and they are all at least half an inch tall. I misted them daily making sure not to drench them. I would suggest putting saran wrap over the tops of the container (creates greenhouse effect) so they germinate faster.

Hope that helps! Good luck!
