Herbs. What do you keep inside vs outside and what region are you located in?

Basil does great inside if it gets sun and is near good airflow. I love growing microgreens indoors too.

Mint does better outside for me, but I keep it in containers since it's so invasive. My five-year-old rosemary plant just died and I'm still really sad about it.

I’ve tried and killed basil, rosemary, lavender, and mint all indoors (don’t have outdoor). I want to try basil again this summer once I can leave the house and get my hands on some plants.

I’ll start since no one has responded. I accidentally kill anything I keep inside, in the northwest. Cilantro, parsley, dill, rosemary, lavender, and sage are the only things I’ve been successful at keeping alive outside. But I really want to make basil a thing, inside or out.

I actually want to start planting herbs. I’m in the NE and get a lot of afternoon and evening sun. We love basil but honestly open to growing anything. We have a small garden book on our patio so I was thinking of allocating a corner for some outdoor herbs

Most herbs require a lot of direct sun. I've never had success on my west facing window sill but my building started a community garden on our rooftop a few years ago and my herbs have thrived there. I think you can probably grow herbs inside against a South facing window.

I buy my seedlings from a Canadian company called Plantables. They are really healthy and they deliver straight to your door!

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status. Because I don't even have a passport for the country I am a dual citizen for, I didn't even think about the possibile complications this could lead to with my application. I applied through a career fair at school and didn't see the citizenship requirements, so I guess that's on me.
