Buying herbs

I'm going to start growing my own herbs. I want Parsley, Thyme, Mint, and probably rosemary. What conditions do they need to thrive? i'm gonna keep em in pots and will either hang them under the carport or put them near a window.
What's the best placement for good healthy herbs?

Pretty much somewhere outside will work. My wife, who has a brown thumb, tends to our herbs and they are thriving.

Mint is very invasive. Plant it in a pot to keep if from taking over.
duh
You are putting it in a pot. Sorry, I'm a skim reader!

I'm looking for some sort of 4 pot hanging basket for the herbs. Just don't know where to find it. Target?

Basil is my favorite, love capri salads and pesto. Most herbs come from the Mediterranean and grow in poor soil, well drained and sunny is important.
Dill is also a favorite, but thyme, parsley, rosemary is a perennial evergreen, and most other herbs are easy to grow. Use them generously and you will never want to cook without them.
Instead of trying to start from seed, go to La. Nursery and buy the plants and just stick them in a pot or garden.

Basil is one of the few that do well from seeds.
I bought a few plants this year ... lazy
Suddenly I have basil coming up all over the garden from last year that went to seed..
I even found Lemon basil coming up in the grass near the garden.
Most herbs are easy to grow if the get plenty of sun and water..

I'm looking to buy the plants, not the seeds - where can I find these? I saw La. Nursery mentioned, any others? Will Lowes have the plants or jsut planters?
