Let us know how it goes! We've tried growing herbs before, and always end up either killing the plants or never using them. The more likely a spice is to be used, the less likely we are to manage to grow it =D

I use to keep a herb garden in NJ grow really well, always had wonderful fresh herb to use and give away, now I haven't had time to do much planting, and I really wish I did, I think that this weekend I may make a herb garden just a small one to see what I get. Thanks for the reminder of how much I do love to see things grow. Good luck with it. love ya!
