So far they seem to be doing pretty well, but my window doesn't get a lot of sunlight. Also, thyme I found requires very little maintenance, it just grows really well.

Leave them in the sun, but don't let the soil dry out -- that's my only advice!

I have killed many many herbs but have a sweet little grandpa who has bushes and bushes of fresh herbs (among other things) to replenish mine. This year though, I did good. I found that with the basil, direct sunlight was not good. My best basil grew right by my front door, under the over hang but close enough to the sun to get it's warmth. Just don't leave it in the direct sun b/c the leaves will turn yellow. Keep it watered too...you can tell when the dirt starts to dry out. Also, the more you cut it the more it will grow! My cilantro and parsley did great in the sun in my backyard...same rules apply, just keep checking the dirt for dryness. This summer I probably had to water them almost everyday, but now that it isn't as hot out you can probably get away with 2 times a week. (I'm not sure where you live, I'm down in FL so it's always hot out!) I'm not a professional gardener but I'm learning along the way...hope this helps! Also...bigger pots might help too! Good luck!! It's so much nicer to have your own selection of herbs than having to spend the money on the grocery ones! Hi there!
