An herb garden is a wonderful thing. Herb gardening in containers is relatively easy and most varieties can be grown successfully, either on a windowsill, a patio or a balcony.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT CONTAINERS:
Just about anything will work, but keep in mind, most varieties prefer fast draining soil and, therefore, pots that breath!

The so-called “strawberry pot” is great for growing a variety of herbs in one place—provided they all require the same conditions--When you need some flavor for your food ... it's all right there
.
One more important thing to remember is that container size does matter. The pot must fit the plant - or plants - that will be growing in it. If the container is too small your herbs may quickly become rootbound and dry out just too quickly. On the other hand, if the container is too large, your plants may, at best, spend all of their energy on root production and not grow the way they should—Or, at worst, simply rot from staying wet too long!
With this information as a guide, the choices are endless...
