Gardening Week - Days 2 & 3

The past couple days, I've done tons of research about gardening in containers and what to plant this time of year and other such things. I probably could have spent even more time because I'm kind of obsessed with researching things until I know "everything," but that wouldn't have been very effective or interesting for the blog.

I bought several different fresh herbs at the store yesterday, and I'm going to see if I can get any of them to root with just water and sunshine. I know it's kind of unlikely, since it's been awhile since they were cut from the original plant, and many herbs don't usually root without rooting compound, but I'm willing to at least try. I am also rooting green onions in a jar. I've done that a lot, but this time I'm planning on actually planting them.
Parsley (Italian, or Flat-Leaf), Thyme, Green Onions, Rosemary, Tarragon, Basil, Mint, Cilantro, Oregano, Sage

While sorting through each of the herb bunches and prepping them to be put in the water, I learned that I don't like the smells of Tarragon or Sage very much. Tarragon is okay, but Sage smells really bad to me. I like the smells of all of the other herbs a lot, but those two are just not pleasant to me. I wonder why?
