    I have a herb garden. I grow oregano, thyme, chives, bay, parsley, dill, marjoram, rosemary, sage. My favorite and the 1 I used the most of is basil, I don't put that out until early May. I love lavender, I grow that under my roses.

    I have an herb garden and am trying to expand it each year we're here. (This year will be only our 3rd gardening season here.)

    Last year, I had spearmint, peppermint, lemon balm, lavender, pineapple sage, common sage, thyme (that I killed, the poor dears), various alliums (if you count alliums towards herbs), bee balm, sheepshire, (sorrel), Mexican tarragon/mint, cilantro, parsleys, fennel, dill, various basils, plantain, feverfew (but killed those, too. Doh!), and... can't remember any more.

    This year, I'll be growing the same plus adding in oregano, Greek oregano, safflower, more alliums, German chamomile, white horehound, adding in more basils, fenugreek, ashwagandha, and mullein.

    I already have the seeds for the above. If I get my butt in gear and get around to ordering, I'd also like to add some arnica, comfrey, calendula, and a couple of others I'm not thinking of right now.

    I have lavenders, sages, oregano, thyme, mints, chives that come up every year. Annuals are cilantro, basil & dill. Rosemary stays in a pot.

    I had chamomile at one time, and would like to plant that again.
