Hey, wonderful what you´re doing with your herbs - you´ve got a really good selection, Ginny.
I´ve never had any success with dill, or sage in Caracas. Probably too much heat.
However, basil, rosemary, oregano, thyme, epazote, tarragon - all grow great!
My purple basil just died off - after 5 years. I used to prune it every 3-4 months, flowers and all; made pesto with the leaves and dried the flowers for seeds (there were a lot of seeds already formed).
 
That Tetra variety of dill is absolutely unbelievable - I've never seen one like that! It is unmanageable, in this type of setup, as you can see - in just 11 days it grew . Dukat seems best to grow this way, but I will try it outside, next spring.

Nice, Dave!

I love my indoor gardens. I started out with the desire to grow herbs for cooking. Since that worked out so well, I knew that I wanted to grow more. It is great to be able to grow them inside too! Nothing like fresh picked lettuce and tomatoes. And I love having flowers in the kitchen.
