Since shutting down my garden for winter, I've kept a pretty low profile gardening wise. However, I do have one project in the works - my herb garden. For Christmas, my in-laws bought me these cute and arty seedling kits from Restoration Hardware. They are part of a gardening collection designed by local Wisconsin potter, Guy Wolff. The first set is the "Italian" Collection with Parsley, Oregano and Basil.
The second set is the "French" Collection with Thyme, Sage and Rosemary. 
My new nursery was born in the new year and at approximately 5-6 weeks is doing pretty well.
In researching herbology, I learned that most herbs like to be "misted" (like African Violets) rather than watered directly. So, my husband bought me an industrial nozzle sprayer and a small travel hairspray bottle to experiment with. The heavy duty one emits a large spray, but it can be a bit like a tidal wave on some of the more delicate babies (e.g., the Parsley). The hairspray bottle is so small, however, that it needs to be refilled 2-3 times per watering. My research also suggested that herbs should not be overwatered either, so I've been keeping them fairly dry.
All of the pots have growth, except the Oregano seems to be a bit stunted. I'm not sure if it requires more water than the other ones or if it is just a slow bloomer. I've never actually grown something from the seed up (well except for bean sprouts in elementary school), so it's hard to measure my progress.
