the mint is some I got from WNeighbor, and it's growing like CRAZY. It's lucky it's in its own patch, or I think it'd just take over all available ground.

You have a mint of mint! :) That sounds like a pretty good herb garden. I like garlic; never had garlic chives, that sounds interesting.

To me, they look like normal chives. But supposedly they have a hint of garlic taste. Sounds like something nice to add to salads and eggs...hope they grow!

And the sage is still new. I bought the plants at the farmers' market. If that takes, I'll be very happy. I adore sage! Especially with chicken or pork, but I love the taste of it in any case. I tasted a few leaves and...well, insert the Homer drool face here and you get the picture. ;-)

I also have that little patch of wild thyme. It's taking awhile to come to life, but there ARE some green leaves now, which is positive. It was pretty dried out looking at first.
