Yes, that's what I thought it was. Good suggestion. Is this the best way to
have an herb garden (or 3 herb gardens, as I am imagining it thriving in my
raised garden and on my front and back porches)? I need to deal with what I
have for the most part, since I am on a low fixed income, but if this is the
best way, I might be able to save up for the purchase. Still, I know I'll need
money for the starts where growing from seed is too difficult.

Can anyone advise me on starts versus seed, and what herbs I simply shouldn't
consider at all given my location (Oregon)? Are herbs all perennials or
annuals,  or a mix? You can tell I'm right at the beginning of this project.

Thanks for the explanation, Diana
