1. I see it growing due to the many TV cooking shows and the likes of Martha Stewart types who have encouraged the average woman to expand her horizons with gardening and cooking (gourmet cooking simplified) and with people who are into herbs for medicinal purposes.

2.. I would think so. 5 years ago I never had pesto...now I make homemade pesto and LOVE it!

3. I doubt it unless it is promoted in some big way

4. Mainly buy from nurseries

5. About the only herb I have ever grown from seed is Borage

6. Yes I did for the first time last year.

7. Locally I can only find the most basic kitchen herbs like peppermint, chives, thyme, basil, sage etc. in very limited varieties I actually drive 2 hours to a herb business to buy my potted herbs every Spring because they have a big selection of herbs. I think businesses need to offer more herbs and in more varieties. I have even considered selling potted herbs in a road side stand type of operation because it might very well fill a niche in my area.
