These are some of the herbs in my backyard:
Rosemary
Love brushing my hands against their spiny and fragrant leaves.
Citronella
Artemisias and Sweet Basil
Peppermint
A relatively new addition to the backyard.
Spearmint
Propagates easily by leaf cuttings.
Sweet Basil seedlings
Kala mints
They bear pretty little leaves and flowers but seemed to be aphid-magnets.
Lavender
Brief as they were with me, they are much missed for their scent.
Lemon Balm
Propagates easily by leaf cuttings. I use the leaves to make tea that is almost verbana like.
Thai Basil
I love your herb garden! I just started growing them in late Jun, I started with Thai basil, Italian basil, rosemary and dill. My dill didnt make it. Then I bought some sweet basil from a supermarket and soaked them in water to grow roots before repotting. Just bought oregano and lemon balm. Looking for spearmint and peppermint to add on to the family :)
