This is my new toy. The AeroGarden3. It was impossible to get a good picture of it because of the bright growing light! I've wanted one for a LONG time, and now that they sell a slightly less expensive 3 plant model, I decided it was time. I really want to be able to grow herbs in my kitchen. I tried the Chia Herb Garden, and it went well for awhile, then everything died. There are currently flowers growing in there because I didn't want to waste herb seeds if it didn't work. So far, after 3 days I've got...

As a long-time herb gardener, I'd plant the parsley, basil, and marjoram. I use those the most. I rarely use mint for anything and it grows under ANY conditions--just like a weed. Oregano is readily available and is good quality dry and lasts forever, whereas basil is best used fresh. Savory isn't used all that often. Marjoram is very versatile and blends nicely with all kinds of meats and veggies.
The parsley and basil were definite musts. I thought I would do the oregano, as I haven't used marjoram ever, I think. Perhaps now is the time to try it :-)
