Default growing herbs in pots

Hello,

Last year I tried to grow some herbs in pots. I put seed compost in
small clay plant pots and sprinkled seed and the herbs started to grow
but the plants are quite small, less than two inches tall.

How long does it take for the herbs to reach the size of the ones you
see for sale in the garden centres? Are the garden centres selling old
plants or do I need to repot the herbs in larger pots or new compost
or give them a feed of something?

With this being the start of their second year I was hoping they would
have been doing better by now.

Thanks,
Stephen.
