So is the best way to grow them from seed then? I was considering buying some of the plants from supermarkets. And can they all live together in one pot? Except from mint which takes over!
Good thread Sam, I've been meaning to ask about herbs for ages. I use them most days dried, and have a pot of 'dried mixed herbs' for when I don't know what to put on stuff

I wouldn't buy the pots from supermarkets because they just don't seem to last very well. You're much better off getting small plants from the garden centre and popping them in a trough or straight into the soil with a little compost and some chicken pellets to feed them. They're around the same price, but they'll have been grown properly.
I wouldn't recommend growing from seedlings first off, as it's easy to just kill everything if you forget to water or something. It might put you off altogether, so start with established plants and it'll be much easier. You will also be able to pick them straight away if you buy from a garden centre

I may have green stuff in my garden (not counting the weeds growing out of the walls and cracked concrete
 )They have lasted nearly 2 weeks now......give it time, I'll kill them somehow

 Mustard and black pepper on a roast, garlic and rosemary works well with steak, then use a knob of butter in the pan right at the end to mop up the flavours and baste it over the steak. Don't let it burn though... Taks, stick at it you'll get there

I keep threatening to have a look at growing garlic as apparently its a great natural way to get bugs and slugs away - Mic is planning on sealing windows and doors if I do that
