I have seriously been considering starting a small herb garden, but I don't 
really know just where to start.  I think my best bet would be to start with 
a few containers just until I get the hang of what I'm doing.  My question is 
this, what would be the best way to start out?  Seeds or plants?  Which herbs 
would be the easiest or the best ones to start out with, seeing as how I'm 
ot
real sure about growing herbs and such?  If it was a vegetable garden, I 
ould
have no problem, as I used to help my mom a lot when I was younger and we 
lived on a small farm in West Virginia.  As far as herbs go, I really don't 
know anything about growing them.  What sort of containers would be the best 
to use, or does it matter?  What about the soil?  Should I go with regular 
potting soil that you can get in the store, or what?  I'd really appreciate 
any help or advice that anyone can offer.  Thanks in advance.
