Although I live alone and rarely cook just for myself I wanted to grow herbs. It seemed silly and a waste of time until a friend told me it wasn’t, because I enjoy my little garden and that’s the most important thing. I have dill, chives, basil, parsley, lemon balm, thyme, cilantro, rosemary and lavender. At first they weren’t getting enough water because they are in pots but now they seem to be thriving. I have used a few in cooking but if I were to never use them I have gained great enjoyment from my little garden.
