At the moment we are getting our weekly organic veg box from The Organic Delivery Company and for the past 3 weeks we have received a free organic potted herb with each box. It started with coriander (which I picked and froze as we already had our own pot of fresh coriander in the garden) and this was followed by large leaf parsley then a lovely pot of sage this week which has such a strong, distinctive scent.
As I haven't been able to sow many seeds yet for all the lovely herbs I am planning to grow, it is lovely to have some fresh herbs in the kitchen. I am planning to start planting any potted herbs that arrive with the weekly box into the salad bed which we can start to use as soon as the new roll of copper tape arrives so we can finish protecting the bed. The plan for the salad bed (which is roughly 1 metre square) is to grow a big mix of salad leaves, herbs and edible flowers all mixed together so that any handful picked includes a lovely range of mixed salad and herb leaves.

Hi, just wanted to say it is good to see somebody else giving up their garden to veg...we've pretty much done that too, as there is only two of us. We are still very much learning how to make the most of our very small space. I find not planting potatoes is a start! Good luck. I'll add u to my blogroll if u don't mind!
