Where is the best place to get herb seeds/plants.
I have lots of Sweet Basil.

I am gonna start a herb container garden
Most larger stores such as Home Depot, Lowes, or Walmart are still carrying herbs, though many seem to have already quit stocking them. It's pretty much too late to start herb seeds for this year. I'd recommend making a list of the kinds of herbs you enjoy cooking with/using, use the Internet to research the needs of those plants, and then visit the store armed with your list! Some good ones to start out with are, of course, basil. Sage can grow well in a container, if it has adequate space. Thyme grows very well in a container, as does rosemary (if kept pruned), mint, and tarragon, if you can find it. All of these are relatively easy to keep alive, integrate into daily meals, and find at your local plant place. If you want to start herbs from seeds, there are MANY websites where you can buy tons of common and bizarre herbs. Richters.com is a good one, as are Mountain Rose, Sand Mountain, and the Thyme Garden. Plan to start some seeds next year, indoors, starting around March. Then, you'll be able to have any kind of herb you could dream of!
Good luck!
Moonpye is right. It's too late to start most herbs from seed now. You might be able to grow more basil from seed now or perhaps fennel or dill, but if you want to put several herbs in a container together, you're going to needs plants. Herbs used to be difficult to find, but many people are growing them today, so if you mention it at church or at work, you may find someone with a spare plant. A thyme or rosemary, one of the woodier plants, could still go into a container now. There are tons of people on DG who would be willing to share seed or young plants with you in the spring. All of the resources in Moonpye's response are spot on. Don't lose interest in herbs because you can't start them from seed right now. They are some of the easiest and most rewarding plants to grow.
If you should chose to overwinter the young plants, it shouldn't be too late to start from seeds. If you have a chance, look in the seed racks at Wmart, Lowes, Ace Hdwe, the feed store, wherever they sell seeds. Buy them (maybe at a discounted price due to the time of year.) Try a few in pots and pop the rest of the seeds in the freezer or a cool dry place to save for springtime.
I say ~ be adventuresome. Think outside the box and give a variety a try.
