Growing the herb is not something to talk about on an open forum ..

I grow my herbs in a mixture of old Belfast sinks and terracotta pots and they always seem to do well.

I would advise growing mint and thyme/lemon thyme in pots on their own as they have a tendency to spread and takeover everything else!

Garlic chives are a very nice alternative to normal chives.

Hanging baskets keeps them safe if you get cats coming and pooing in your garden. Also stops them taking over.x
