We are slackers, huh? :gig

I have:
chives
greek oregano
basil
thyme
sage
chocolate mint
pineapple mint
rosemary

I find I always need more chives and rosemary. I think I will buy a few plants because I don't want to divide mine and reduce output while it grows back.

I have a new one to add to my list....

Texas Tarragon :D
You're going to love that Texas tarragon. Did you know it is actually a perrenial marigold native to Mexico? (Tagetes lucida) Try splitting a chicken breast and layering some of it inside before grilling it. A truly unique taste.

This is my first year gardening... really, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

So far:
spearamint
peppermint
lemon balm
sweet basil
chives
dill

I hoped to grow lemon grass but I guess Colorado isn't humid enough and gets too cold or something. Only found one nursery that sells it and they recomend it stay inside. But i think my 6 are a fair start for a first year.
edited to add dill, how did I forget dill?

I just scattered some hysop seed but I put it in my sanctuary strip for my butterflies and nectar loving predator wasps. Not to say I won't have some tea from it also.
I also scttered some horehound against my retaining wall where the ground is too poor for much else. I don't know if I'll ever use any but it keeps things in place and nectar sippers like it..
