Any particular varieties of herbs you’re starting? I’ve got some ‘plain’ rosemary seeds to start but i’ve seen some of the ‘foxtail’ plants in various places online. Those look wonderful. Any experience with the gourmet varieties?

We’ve got a mole family that’s been doing our tilling for us. I’m agnostic right now because they eat SVB grubs. We’ll see how I feel if they get in my strawberry bed.

I plant standard herbs, because of the consistancy in the kitchen. I have used some of the 'gourmet' spices in restaurants. I'm not too big on them. Give me my standards.

Here is my list of required herbs/flavorings for the kitchen (that I can grow here): thyme, oregano, rosemary, basil, cilantro, dill, cumin, garlic, parsley, lemon grass, and chili peppers.

I GOTS to have those, and I prefer to have them grown in my own garden.

Some things, like peppercorns, and cinnamon, I obviously can't grow here, but the others, I put a lot of effort into having fresh on the property.
