Just thought I'd post a piece of info.

Right now my local B&Q have a herb offer - five small pots for £5.

The herbs actually come under the umbrella of "patio plants". I bought two varieties of thyme (a purple one and a lemon one) and a curry plant, plus some other plants which aren't herbs but... urm... patio plants.

They look lovely as well, now I just need to build a patio

As for my Lidl-bought herbs, the top part of the thyme has died but there are some tiny green shoots appearing at the bottom. And the chives decided to flower!

mrsc, could you post a link to your group please as at the moment I'm very much into herbs.
