Remember when those little plastic clamshells of herbs were like a dollar? I swear I bought a thing of cilantro last week that cost more than the chicken I was putting it on. Started just growing basil and mint in pots on my windowsill, which works until my cat decides it's a salad bar.
Yeah my rosemary plant got so big I had to give cuttings to the neighbors... still cheaper than the tiny dried up sprigs they sell for four bucks at the store. The cat thing is real though, had to move everything to a high shelf after finding teeth marks in the thyme.
