Give them away to friends, schools, public libraries or hospitals. It's vital that you keep the seeds moist or they will not germinate properly. Once the seeds start to sprout, take the plastic cover off immediately because the heat buildup under the plastic could actually kill emerging seedlings.

Herbs are so undemanding.
With just a little planning, you'll have a thriving, fragrant herb garden to admire and to snip for culinary uses, drying or even fresh flower arranging. Even in the northeast, you can set up your garden as early as mid-April. You can plant herbs as a separate garden, as a border or even in a container. Watch out for trees that turn shady in the summer. Most herbs need a minimum of eight hours of sun daily.
