Hi guys,

Going into my third year selling cut flowers and a few vegetables at my local market. Last year several customers, in addition to wanting potted herbs, were also looking for mini-herb gardens, with several herbs in one pot.

I can't find any real specific info on how many herbs per pot and how big a pot I should use if I decide to try this. I just keep seeing things such as "the bigger the pot the better".

Does anyone here sell herbs this way, and if so, what size pot and how many herbs per pot do you plant? I don't want to go too big, as I don't think people will pay for the bigger plantings. Also, I'm thinking that I would have to advise my customers to pot up a size sooner or later anyway.

Thanks for any input, suggestions, opinions...
Dee
