    You must live somewhere pretty warm for yours to still be alive. Mine killed off about 3 weeks ago.

    I grow several herbs indoors in a south facing bay window. Basil, thyme, oregano, scallions and rosemary. Year round. Just the 4-6" pots from the grocery store. The window happens to be in my living room, but hey, what else is that room for?

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I have a friend in colorado who does the same thing, except the herbs he grows are for medicinal purposes...

    We grow a lot of basil - but mine died weeks ago. I'm envious. Enjoy!

    Took a few sprigs of basil to mix in with tomato sauce and pasta.  Nice fresh taste.

    @westernbbq   that's a great idea, and I'm going to copy you.  I have no green thumb at all, but I could take care of a pot for the sake of pizza.  thanks.

    @blasting.  I bought two plants at home depot for $3.99 each, i think...they may have been $4.99 each.   Put them in the terra cotta pots with some soil that was laying around, put em in the sun and kept a decent, but not excessive supply of water on them and man do they ever grow, even with my limited gardening skills
