Hhhhhhherbs

One of my favorite comedians, Eddie Izzard (who is British), says, "We call them h-h-h-h-herbs...because there's a fucking 'h' in it!"

Our h-h-h-h-h-h-herb pot is doing quite well. I recommend planting in a fairly large size pot and mashing them together a bit instead of doing individual pots. It retains moisture better and I think it's more attractive, but either way growing herbs is a great idea. Here we have from front around clockwise: thyme, lemon verbana, tarragon, rosemary, and parsley, with a cherry bomb hot pepper plant in the middle. We also have sage and oregano in another pot, and mint, chives, and basil in their own respective pots.

I recommend basil, mint, and chives being in their own pots. Basil I like to grow several plants and so they have enough root space to get the most harvest out of them (I freeze for Winter), I plant in separate ceramic or plastic pots. Both mint and chives have a tendency to take over whatever pot they're in, so I give them their special areas. Once you buy chives, you will never have to buy them again. You can bring them inside for Winter or leave the pot outside and they will reappear next Spring! Basil and mint will die off in the cool weather, but I believe you can bring mint inside as well if you want year round.
