Herbs!  And not just any herbs!  Potted herbs!

I specifically wanted a potted herb garden so that I could attempt to have them year round.  A good experiment for 52 weeks.  This time next year and we'll see how they're doing.  Well, I'll probably throw in a few updates between now and then.    

Also started this week: snow and snap peas, sunflowers, mesclun greens, tomatoes, and lavender. 

I am one of those people for whom gardening is not an art.  I know very little about how to do anything properly, but I love it!  I just plant stuff, read about how to care for it and hope I don't kill it.  It's fun to see what works and what doesn't.  Our garden in Chicago was a huge success.  For three years, nearly everything we planted thrived and I think we can do the same here.  Now I just have to keep hoping I don't kill everything with water or sunshine.  That's how gardening works, right?

Ok, please please enlighten me. What is that green/purple fuzzy herb in the lower left corner of your photos? I have the same on in a mixed pot that someone gave me, but I have yet to identify it!
