Hello, What a fabulous idea and so convenient. My husband loves to cook and I would grow oregano. That is one of our most favorite herbs to season with. Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

I'm trying my hand at a little herb garden outdoors this year, but having some lemon basil in the kitchen would be the best... everytime you touch it, it realeases the most glorious, fresh scent!
