I've been considering buying one myself, but I wanted to see how well yours worked before I spent the $$! I live in California where things grow well, but I'm not good at it and our last batch of herbs were devastated by bugs.

I also noticed the sage is there too - so maybe I'll cut some more of that. No way I'm ever planting mint again... it ran all over the place at our other house.

I don't use them in the summer but during the winter (seeds will be planted next week), I plant all three in basil. Basil is way expensive for a few puny leaves in the store so that's why I only plant basil in the indoor gardens. I can buy parsley fairly inexpensively and it keeps longer than does storebought basil so I'll just buy the wimpy parsley and look forward to my own outdoor herb garden in the spring.

I used to have a small strawberry patch until the mint invaded it. I used to have a space for a few seasonal flowers until the mint invaded it. It's growing amongst the myrtle (which is also out of control). Want some of mine? I can include the myrtle as a free bonus... You can kill off mint?!

It must be very attractive to animals -- the neighbour's cows next door love it, and they reach their heads over the wall to eat it, and another neighbour's cat likes to crawl into the mint bed and sleep.
