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 would like to grow some Herbs to cook with, this kit gave me the Ideal or my friend did to she gave me MINT to start grown, to put in my Tea, I like it. Then I seen the Kit. The kit has Parsley, Dill, Chives, Basil, Cilantro & Marjoram. would like to grow more but need some Ideals of others on Herbs to grow? And where to buy them?
Thank U all the help

They should be sun- and heat-loving, because most of them will be on the balcony or on the roof. A few small ones could be shade-loving.
I would prefer it if they all had some practical uses, such as vegetables or herbs.
Here are some that I’m planning on growing, to give you an idea of the sort of thing I want: Aloe vera, mint, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, green beans and peas, onions and garlic, lemon trees, carrots and lettuce.
Thanks in advance

I cook a lot and use a lot of fresh herbs, but they’re so expensive! So I was thinking of growing a small herb garden of mint, thyme, Rosemary and maybe a few others… Problem is, every time I try to grow anything it dies. I have like, a black thumb or something! So, I was wondering what the difficulty level is for a small herb garden like this, if it would be better to grow indoors or out (I live in Bakersfield, Ca, so it’s hot summers and very cold winters), and just any general tips someone more experienced than me thanks!
