The message
from Kay contains these words:

Mint is one of the exceptions that wants it a bit moister. Also parsley
and chives

Basil won't survive our winters, so you need to regrow it each year. Can
be done from seed, but easier to buy a supermarket tub, the sort which
is still growing, and split it.

I've got what amounts to a gro-bag full of watercress. It grows very
nicely in soil or peat, and while it like plenty of wetness, it will
tolerate ordinary growing conditions - but the cabbage white flutterbies
will lay their eggs on it.
