I saw something linked on SurvivalBlog.com yesterday about using wooden pallets as vertical planters. This might work for herbs, I would think.
Nothing new on the sprout count--still batting 1.000 on the broccoli, .975 or 1.025 on the tomatoes depending on what standard one is using, .300 on the green peppers, and .250 on the spinach. Our next meeting for the parish community garden is tomorrow morning at 10, right in the middle of the plot.
