I grow lots of herbs in containers, some with greater success than others. Tarragon and sage are probably my favorites, but I'm also trying summer savory and papalo (a pungent Mexican herb) this year. Some tips I didn't know my first year until it was too late -- pinch back the growing tips of established plants every week or thereabouts to encourage growth, don't water too frequently, and be stingy with the fertilizer on woody herbs like thyme and rosemary. Good luck!
