Fresh herbs are a GREAT investment. Seriously. Well, if you like fresh herbs and buy them prepackaged then you will agree with me. I'm terrible at keeping plants alive. But I have tried several times to get better and slowly I am. I love to cook with fresh herbs - they taste so much better. But buying fresh herbs in the Wal-Mart produce section is $2.38 for a couple sprigs of rosemary, thyme, etc. I went to the garden section and they have the 5" potted herbs for $3.00. So, even with my terrible, non-green thumb I can manage to keep a plant alive for a couple weeks. So, if I can keep it alive all season then I have well invested my money. I suggest you try it too!

I've been wanting to get my own little herb garden for quite a while now- I just haven't gotten out there and one it. Fresh herbs really are so much better, but I almost never get to cook with them b/c they are so expensive to buy! So you've only been able to keep your potted herb plants alive for a couple of weeks? Are they hard to maintain?
