Growing in pots is a really good way to go if you don't want a "graden". If you want to learn more just Goggle "container gardening". There are also a lot of books on the subject. That is how I got started, and now.. well..I'll post some pics after I get everything planted.
I'll be happy to lend a link or threeOh yeah.. she needs MORE inspiration.

Mind you Kathleen cries when she has to walk bare foot in grass....
Are you still gardening in pots? And I've hit sooo many container gardening websites. It's almost overwhelming. My biggest challenge is to find what size I need for which kinds of plants.

My previous efforts at herb gardening has been confined to pots with very disappointing results. I am the original Mrs. Brown Thumb:P
We've just bought a house in a coastal village,which, while smaller than we are used to, is wonderfully warm in every way and has a circular garden bed in the backyard that is just perfect for herbs. Presently it has some kind of low growing hedge around the perimeter (they are mad on hedges in this town), and an azalea in a pot in the middle.
So out with them all in the next few days and in with the herbs. Will create wedges with small pavers to define eash herb planting and perhaps put a rosemary in a tub sunk in the middle.
Apart from the rosemary, basil, parsley....what do you think I should plant?

If you have a tub you might try some marjoram, its so good with eggs, in fritatas, I also tried tarragon, love it. Chives,among the herbs I put easter egg radishes,carrots that are purple on the outside and orange on the inside. We planted sweet white onions, potatoes, I plan to plant more late bolting lettuce, and I planted cubanelle peppers. I'm loving playing with these things and seeing them grow. Now I have to go gopher hunting the little baggage has taken aim on my tomatoes and has made off with 2 plants so far.Thyme, basil, parsley, sage, rosemary, and mints are often nice. My favorite herbs that we grow are Greek Oregano and Dill. I love dill sprinkled over the butter on freshly cooked ears of corn in place of salt.
