This weekend, Jeremy and I used one of our wedding presents (a $50 Palmers voucher) to set up our own mini-garden, in the form of a herb pot. Here is our journey:

basil (sweet), coriander (cilantro), mint, rosemary, flat-leaf parsley

There was soil everywhere - not even Jeremy's socks were spared!

The finished product - yum! The herbs smell great. We also got a nice plant which is sitting outside to brighten up the concrete steps. The white rose bushes in the garden have started flowering also, they are so fragrant. I'd spend more time outside if it wasn't absolutely pouring with rain, and severe gale force winds right now...
