 Herbs 2023

Lovage- fresh flavor that tastes a bit like citrusy celery

Anise Hysopp- Once established, its heavily-scented, slightly fuzzy purply-green leaves are some of the first to emerge in the spring. 

English thyme- It can be harvested until buried in snow and then as soon as the snow melts in spring. 

Rosemary- purchase new plants in the spring, if plants from last year do not overwinter.

White Sage- Put around birdbath, maybe invasive and is not hardy. Overwinter in the basement.

Lemon Balm- They say you can't kill this plant. I am about to find out by moving it for the third year in a row. Move to the front of the "moist" herb bed against the fence. Hopefully this is where it will stay.

Mint- leave this around the bird bath fountain.

Basil- Continue to interplant with tomatoes.

Garlic- not strictly an herb, but grow in the "moist" bed. Plant in the fall for an early season harvest.
