“Can ya tell me what herbs in particular you are looking for? I know you want Rosemary.”

I know little about herbs. I have two kinds of basil under the grow lamp and they are up, but I don’t know what I need except I want ones that are difficult to grow from seed. If you tell me there are a number of kinds available, I’ll go look. I made a list based on other Freepers info. on herbs -I’ll have to look that up and print it to give me some guidance as to what to buy. I also have that book on herbs written by a research doctor at MD Anderson hospital in Houston, so I need to look in that book and make decisions.

Unless you plan to become a serious herbalist, most of what you want to grow will be for eating. The ones I would not want to be without for seasoning/flavor that do not come easily from seed:

**rosemary** (there are many types, but as far as I know, they all have much the same scent/flavor)
**spearmint** mints do not come true from seed. Chilled spearmint tea on a hot day is about the most refreshing thing you can imagine--you can make it from fresh leaves. Plant this in a container or in an area that it can take over, because it WILL take over.

The seeds are easy to grow, it’s keeping them alive after they are grown. I have a terrible time with basil.
