I just bought a sage plant for cooking. The problem is I know nothing about gardening. How do I pot my new sage plant? I have searched online and had little luck.
Also does anyone have any tips, or know of some good sites? If I can keep my plant alive, I would like to buy other herbs. Any tips on herb gardens?

If you want other herbs - be very careful with spearmint, peppermint, pineapple mint, etc... they are very aggressive plants and spread like mad. Keep them in large flower boxes or in a distant part of a yard that you don't care about... the stuff grows like MAD!
I have tarragon and some parsely growing as well. Very low maintenance plants.
I had some thyme, but it all died. It was very tasty, though. I might get some more sometime soon. Lemon thyme is pretty and tasty. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
those were just for sage. this is for herb gardens and the web site directly above has a column on the left side that has the herbs mentiond in the website below. so all you have to do is click on the herb and it will tell you all about growing it and using it.
