Egg cartons are filled with potting soil for planting tomorrow. I'm re-skinning the plastic on the cold frame and getting that set up. I had to move the oregano and thyme around in the herb garden for space for the cold frame. Today will be a busy day.

Herb garden: What is that? “I don't have no herb garden.”

I don't have a single herb. I haven't done herbs. I have just bought that book by the MD Anderson research doctor that tells me which herbs are good for what medical condition and how to take them.

So, I know I need herbs. I've got a planter attached to a brick wall in the garden and there is nothing in it. The front part gets sun for awhile but the back part barely gets sun at all due to being close to the roofed deck, the shade hits that spot first as the sun moves across - it's only sunny there for while in the mornings.

Went out and measured that planter. It's 8 feet long and 14 inches wide. Didn't think to measure the depth but it's deep enough for herb roots.

So, to all of you, which herbs could grow okay in the back half portion that doesn't get sun all day, just a while in the mornings? Are there any herbs that would grow there?Those that must have more sun will be in the front half of the planter.
