I have a variety of herbs in my herb garden which is not one big patch but several areas within the same zone with different herbs some being perinnials and some seasonal, I have to check the English names for some that have not been mentioned, I just planted them in April so I am still waiting on them to grow nicely. Some I have are Lavender Catmint Southernwood or wormwood French Terragon ginger mint lemon mint peppermint moroccan mint sparemint lemon balm Bee Balm Yissop Marshmallow Germander Rosemary Five types of thymes Cuban Oregano Marjoram Hardy Borage Green Oregano Cotton Lavender aka Santolina St. John's wart Winter Savory Summer Savory Chives Green Sage Lemon Sage Purple, white and green varigated sage Non perianials Parsley Dill Red and Green Basil Thailand Basil African Blue Basil Coriander Celantro |

I will absolutely die for some of those seeds, where did you get the seeds from? Some of my rosemary is taller than me and have spread as wide as 6 feet and I just love all my herbs. I cook with many and also make pestos with a variety of them mixed all together with oilive oil and a tad of sald, they last very long this way and is freshly grounded Herbs are so tranquil to look at and grow, the aromatic aromas of them and their own physical attributes are so wonderful. I wanted Yarrow and a lovage but couldnt seem to find it just yet, some are hard to find |

Oh, yeah. Add to my list yarrow, tansy, and costmary. While I was pulling clover weed, I found some of my costmary "outside the box." I might just leave it where it is. Pineapple sage blooming now? Mine never bloomed until about September. It was always the lovely swan song for the summer. She died last year after many, many years happily growing huge in the same place. We haven't been able to find another. (We don't have many nurseries in the area anymore. The big box stores have taken over. Maybe I'll luck up on one somewhere.) |

I purchased the culantro at a local Home Depot. I've noticed the plants at more than one location down here. They brand is called "Bonnie". Each pot brings about 4 plants for $3. The plants grow quickly, so I should have seeds in no time. Taken 11 days ago: Attachments:  |
