It gets so hot where I live that many herbs can't survive the extreme temperatures. I have a particularly difficult time growing cilantro and lavender, two of my favorites.

My first attempt is underway in a re-purposed fish bowl. I simply layered some rocks on the bottom, soil on top, and then seeds. I started with Sage, Tyme and Cilantro. The Sage and Tyme are well started, but the Cilantro died initially. So, the sprouts you see are my second attempt. I also purchased some small organic herbs at the farmer's market and did the same rocks and soil layering in mason jars (inspired by the photo below that I found on a great blog,
