Veggies/Herbs for my little guys and their food

[camaleonte82]

so i work in a garden center and i see plants all day long. everything from giant trees to seed packets. and i want to buy and start growing seeds because they are so much cheaper than buying full plants ever so often. and i was wondering. what are the best things to try and grow in your experiences? i have done search after search on plants and herbs for chams and what to feed their crickets. but whats the best? all i can find are whats "safe" or "Acceptable" not what works. im thinking if i buy a few boxes i will grow some basil, maybe kale, or lettuce? what do you think? tell me please. i have two panther chams and 4 veiled and tons of crickets that need gutloaded.

Arugula (also called rocket) is good. Basil is good.
