That's the best description of my old herb garden. The mint had grown into the oregano, so I wasn't sure what was what anymore. The ground wasn't very good here, either. You can see the big mound of green on the left. At one time, that was one little oregano plant. It grew...and the mint grew into it. There's a little thyme plant, some parsley that came up again, and the chives. To the far right, there are a few tarragon plants coming up again. Guess I didn't get it all dug out last year. That stuff grows taller than me. Unfortunately, I didn't know about tarragon when I planted it, and I got the wrong kind. This was the Russian kind, and it's worthless. I'd like to find some of the French and/or Spanish.
Here's my new herb garden. It's between the patio and the sidewalk that goes from the house to the church. I transplanted some of the chives and the thyme. You will note on the right, that the mint is now in a pot where, hopefully, it will behave itself. I also planted some seeds in this bed--parsley, oregano, basil, cilantro/coriander. There are a couple more I'd like to get yet.

Very cute! Remember that mint I used to have planted in that barrel on my front steps? I had caught it sneaking down the back side of the barrel and trying to reach for my landscaping 3 steps down! Sneaky little creeper!!!
