I bought a mint garden, and a basil garden from my my neighbourhood farmers market. They are already grown and they look stunning on my window sill, but how do I keep them from dyeing?

Not sure if this link is going to work, but here is a picture.

How many times do I water them? Do I use a lot of water? Do I only wet the soil, or can I wet the actual plant as well?
Is there a certain way to pick the herb out of it’s stem? If so, how?

Please give me all the tips you have.

I want to start growing herbs for cooking indoors and was wondering which ones are easy to grow. I’ve never successfully really grown anything before. Is Basil a good one? Chives? Suggestions?
How do I start- just buy some seeds, dirt and containers?

Did an herb garden this year, and the lemon balm, basil, and sage really took off.

The sage is a tender perennial (pineapple) and the basil is just getting pulled since it’s an annual.

I may just cut back the sage to see if it will come up again.

But overall, I plan to cut them, hang them, dry them.

But what is the best way to store these herbs for about a years use or so until I can grow more?

Also, will factors such as heat and light affect the herbs?

I was thinking about storing them outside in a shed. But the temp still gets around 100 degrees.

If the herbs are dried and in storage, will a couple days or a week of 100 degree weather cause them to degrade or deteriorate slowly?
