My herb garden does beautifully in season, and my neighbors know to come over and help themselves. But I also have a lot of dry herbs as well for use during the winter months. I don't have a lot of luck growing them inside because all my sunny windows are above heat registers and they dry out faster than I can keep them watered. I have a rosemary plant I bring in during the cold months, and I used to have a bay tree (died last year) that I brought in as well. But in season I have mint, lemon balm, sage, thyme, dill, two kinds of chives, tarragon, basil, oregano. I also toss in a few marigold and nasturtium seeds. I find that dried sage, dill, thyme, and oregano work just fine during the winter months, the other herbs I just do without when I can't grow them. My herb garden is about 3' X 6' and is right out the kitchen door.
