What cook doesn’t like to use fresh herbs in salad dressings, as a rub for meats or to flavor a cheese spread? I love being able to go out to my garden to pick fresh chives, tarragon, parsley and mint—these are the ones that I can count on because they are perennials in Minnesota. In the spring, I often plant additional culinary herbs such as: basil, rosemary, thyme, sage and dill.
With winter approaching (we could get a frost here as early as next week) I will soon have to buy fresh herbs at the supermarket. That’s why I’ve become intrigued with the ads for those new countertop gardens. They are very expensive ($130.00-$170.00) and probably take up a lot of counter space. The countertop garden that I've been looking at is AeroGarden.

Has anyone had any experience with one?
