Today you might discover that you're finally growing bored of your usual time-wasting activities like surfing the web, playing video games and watching tv. Step away from the electronics and start to grow your own herbs. Whether you're in suburbia or a tiny city apartment, you can grow basil, rosemary, sage, mint, thyme, parsley and oregano in well-composted soil. While basil and oregano love sun bathing, the other herbs do fine in partly shaded areas. You'll soon be rewarded with herbs for soups and teas.
