We have all been there. You are at the grocery store staring at a tiny plastic clamshell of basil that costs 5 dollars and looks like it will wilt before you even get it to the checkout line. We want that fresh farm to table lifestyle but most of us are not working with acres of land. Maybe you have a small suburban patio a tiny balcony or just a sunny windowsill that is currently doing nothing but collecting dust.

The good news is that herbs are the ultimate weekend warrior crop. They are tough as nails they do not need much room and they actually thrive in creative containers. You can have a high end gourmet garden even if you are on a beer budget.
