I've got my herbs in pots on our patio. I couldn't imagine having to enter a garden at night to grab what you need. Especially with the spiders and snakes that have come up here with the rain
haha
I'm SO glad that I don't have to deal with the toxic stuff here in Germany... We do have snakes and Spiders, but they are not out to kill you... just scare the Shi*** out of you
