    I still haven't gotten my herb garden going but I did attempt to sprout seeds...it just didn't work :( I've done great at composting everything (even my roomates old leftovers) and just going without when foods are only offered in disposable containers (I will either eat at the restaurant instead of to-go or go home to prep food). It's hard to say no to coffee sometimes when I've forgotten my cup - but I so far I haven't caved.

      Sounds like you're really challenging yourself! Good for you. Starting an herb garden isn't easy. For me, it was helpful to buy plants that had already sprouted when I wasn't able to get the seeds to grow myself.
