The herb garden is one of the eight triangles in the perennial garden and an easy walk from the kitchen. Above it's the bed on the right.
Each corner of the triangle has a clump of chives. I've used the flowers for bouquets.
Here's the sage taken just before the blooms opened. The last photo will show it in bloom. I have two plants, a thin leafed and a round leaf variety.
Here's the rosemary. Of all the plants this is the least hardy. I don't know what number rosemary this is, but they usually last two years if I'm lucky.
The savory is a wonderful flavoring. I like it in zucchini and in asparagus soup.
The lavender is in the center and I'll use it's flowers. There's a broken plate buried in front of it.
The oregano will take over the bed if I let it. I'm sorry I didn't plant it in a pot which is what I did with the mint below.
Here's an annual - a Thai basil.
Another annual - cilantro.
Finally here's the thyme also a good spreader but at least I don't find it in other parts of the garden.
And here's the bed with the sage in bloom looking back at the porch.
So handy to have the herb garden there to access with fresh herbs just at the point they needed to be added to what I'm cooking.
