I used to grow a lot of stuff in my backyard, including herbs. I stopped with the garden, but recently I got one of those chia herb plants, I had that for awhile and it was cool. Now I have nothing... nothing!

I had a Chia Homer and it took so long to grow, I was upset. But then it eventually filled it, and then it started to die, so I had to restore Homer to his original and natural bald state.

About the only herb that grows in my garden each year is chives. They just seem to come back each year and is the only plant that all the critters do not eat in the garden.

Chives... that's a real familiar name. Oh wait, I'm thinking of Climes, and that's a game. Good herb, though.

I grow a lot of herbs in pots. I love the fragrance and of course using them in my cooking. That's outdoors.


For indoors I could not resist these. I have yet to start them and have since found out that they have a larger version on the market which would make more sense.

In terms of yield these would be next to useless. In terms of cute factor they get full points. LOL

Further to herbs, what do you all think of this?

This is one of my favorite online vendors. Saw this item recently and thought it'd be a boon during the winter months. I find the kits a bit pricey and don't like that you require these in order to use this grow system. It's product driven!
