I've never had much luck with herbs, but will keep trying.
This time we've followed the guidance on this website:
http://www.recipes4us.co.uk/Growing%20Herbs.htm
So today we sowed:
Parsley Moss Curled
Parsley Plain Leaf
Russian Tarragon
Thyme Orange Scented
Sweet Basil
They're all in pots, in freezer bags. We have one pot of each in the greenhouse and one pot of each on the kitchen windowsill.

Herbs
We have started some herbs for indoor growing over the winter. We are starting some in the greenhouse too, to see how they cope over the winter. It doesn't matter if they fail as we have plenty more seeds to sow more in the spring.
Sowings so far:
2 Chives
2 Coriander Cilantro
2 Red Basil
2 Russian Tarragon
4 Thyme Old English
4 Sage
We've also sown a cell tray of:
8 Mint
8 Red Basil
8 Sweet Basil
We'll need to sow a lot more herbs sometime soon. We're planning to have lots of sage plants in tubs in between all the brassicas next year - apparently these help keep the cabbage white's off the brassicas - we don't want the veggies ruined by caterpillars!
Reminder - we must look up "companion planting" - the art of planting one thing with something else to ward off pests!
