I started a few fresh herbs in my deck flower pots a couple years ago, and I have really enjoyed using the fresh herbs in my cooking. Then I had to wonder why I didn't do it before!! They are so much nicer than dried stuff. I only read the lst page, but want to add that dill is one of my favs too - It 's too big for the pots, but I grow it down near my chives around my back deck. It's so wonderful fresh! Hope you enjoy yours!
