My previous attempts to grow herbs in pots failed. But when I found out that my apartment complex is having a community garden, I transferred my wilting potted herbs to the garden bed, & they thrive :-) I think having potted plants are tricky, because if the soil packs hard, that's when it's trouble for the plants. My cilantro looks like dill because it's flowering, that's why the leaves are thinner (the plant is conserving its energy for the flowers, hence smaller leaves).
