Oh hey, thanks for the link!

Herbs are generally pretty hard to kill, which is what I like about them. Also, there's no substitute for fresh thyme, dill, or basil - the dried versions don't cut it.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the tip! I've been watching some videos on how to dry herbs, but I don't know if I will have enough of them to dry them and hang them, or put them in jars. I also like the idea of fresh herbs. We'll see how it goes. This is my first go-round with herbs and flowers in a number of years, so I may lose a few in the learning process.

Drying herbs is no big deal. Just spread them out on a spare table or bed in a dry room for a few days, then strip the leaves off the stems and store them in sealed containers out of direct light.
