Notes:
- Herbs, like vegetables, need plenty of sun to thrive so make sure you choose a sunny spot for sowing your seeds.
- Make sure that the soil you use is good quality - poor soil will just lead to disappointment when sad, straggly seedlings pop up - if they pop up at all! If in doubt, buy a bag of soil.
