My herb garden is getting a good cleaning, and I'm adding new herbs (and ones I simply haven't planted again). Many went into pots. I learned homestead lesson #247 (that's a sarcastic made up number): don't plant lemon balm directly into your herb garden. It has roots like cement and spreads quickly.
I purchased my herb seeds from three different sources this year - High Mowing, Baker Creek, and Horizon.

Wear it out,
Make it do,

Give a Woman an Herb Garden ~ Herbal Syrup ~ Lemon Balm
The Good Lord gave me a dry day, so I went straight to the herb garden. The vegetable garden was still too wet. I know the weeds are bad, but sharing a photo anyway. I have to re-set the natural stones around it every spring, but I really don't mind it. The bed on the other side (top) of the sidewalk is a flower bed. I still have sage in some of it.
