different types of herbs you can find here

There are all sorts of herbs you can find here. These are easy to plant and costs around $2-$6 to plant. They don't need a lot of room to grow.
Or you can buy them at the market from $1 a bunch to about $5 per packet. There is not much fresh herbs available at the supermarket. They come as either dried or in a "Gourmet Garden" tube which I think tastes artificial.

2) Spearmint- tastes very minty
