Lime thyme, lemon thyme, and golden oregano look nice. I also have a little blue star creeper nearby, and some garlic chives. Aphids supposedly don't like them. Quote \| Reply \| Report

I don't know if they're garlic chives or not, but they sure are easy to grow everywhere and the flowers are cool, too. Quote \| Reply \| Report
