So far so good. For a few bucks (about $4.00 if I remember correctly) and a little time, I got all of this (see photo). Every two weeks or so I put some Miracle-Gro in the water but other than that I didn’t do anything special with them. Herbs seem to be as easy to grow as I was led to believe.

Basil
The basil (backrow in the photo) is great however if I had to do it over again I would have grown tarragon, rosemary or sage instead – just my personal herb preference. The basil did take up a little time (besides watering) to prune the flowers but it’s not a big deal really.

Thyme
The thyme is also wonderful and took virtually no additional time besides watering.

Next: making a lot of pesto.
