Nice character!

I think you mean you're going to grow herbs, which is pretty exciting! I've been growing more herbs these last few years aswell and I especially use the rosemary, mint and chives a lot. Feels a little healthier ;-)
I moved houses (again) and now have a bigger garden, so I've been growing tomato plants from seeds I took from my favorite tomato kind. Very exited to see how they will do once outside :-)

I do understand not wanting an actual garden. It takes a lot of time and I wasn't a big fan either until a few years ago. Now that I'm overworked again, I notice working with my hands helps a lot, so pulling out weeds is kinda therapuetic. Though for you, painting is probably the way to go!
