I love
growing fresh herbs.
I have a chive plant that I have managed to keep since the girls were small.
advice about the cherry tomatoes.
Unless you are going to conatiner garden them, plant then where you do not mind a lot of volunteer plants coming up next year. The first time I planted a cherry tomatoe plant I did so right next to my other tomsatoe plants---the next year I had a lot of "volunteer" plants that I had to get rid of as I rotated my garden around every year.
let us know how your new little seedings come along..
