I have purchased a parsley plant for the kitchen window
and miraculously it is still alive after nearly a month. I never remember to cook with it, though.

parsley has minimal use
oregano and rosemary grow quite nicely and are actually useful

Coriander, on the other hand, is useless.
Doesn't like being cut, doesn't like growing indoors, gets murdered by slugs outdoors.

i managed to grow some
but due to being a clueless cook, it wasn't all that useful
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 11:37, Reply)

but coriander is yummy
used in all the best curries. and it has that soapy kind of smell that you have to fight past to enjoy it.

Chives grow fucking well too.
Sage grows really well from seed, as does mint and thyme.

but don't plant mint with anything else
as it just kills it

my chives are shit
I find with herbs that they don't grow big enough for how much I use them.

and rightly so
chives are shit, full stop.

they have their uses

throwing in the bin and compost.

Rosemary is basically impossible to kill.
I ended up with a bush so big* that I used it as barbecue fuel. Excellent flavoured smoke.

my rosemary has gone all sparse
useless thing. think maybe I didn't use enough of it or something
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 11:46, Reply)

I've discovered it is possible for it to die
in a really harsh winter up here, but the one I had darn sarf nearly took over the fucking garden.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 11:48, Reply)

mine's in a pot with some sweet marjoram and some sage
don't use them enough really or the bay tree.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 11:49, Reply)

It's sparse because it's in a pot
rosemary needs planting out as soon as it's big enough to survive.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 11:51, Reply)

it's a great big pot
and lives outside
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 11:52, Reply)

you'd be surprised, it's still probably not big enough.
it's about root restriction and the lack of nutrients in a pot.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 11:53, Reply)

you are probably right.
I am shit at gardening

I like this and shall be doing similar.

I wish you lived down the road from me so I can nip in for a cup of tea and talk about how Catherine's kids are doing.

haha, man, sometimes I wish I had your mind, mate.
just definitely not your guts. No offence.

I hate my guts too.

We have a bay bush outside our house that I don't even remember planting
The other weekend I chopped it back, because it had grown to halfway up my kitcvhen window. By the time I'd got it down to about three feet tall, I could actually see out of the window for the first time in a year.

It's not like I even use bay in cooking. I don't know where the fucker came from

stealth herbage.
Worrying.

Are you _sure_ it's a Bay Plant and not a *whisper* Canabis */whisper* plant?

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 18 Apr 2011, 11:56, Reply)

If you don't know the difference between bay and cannabis
I've got some brilliant skunk you can have for only £25 a quarter.
