Newbie question.
Several years ago I planted an herb garden in a sunny corner near the house. Rosemary, thyme, sage and oregano. They grew beautiful but had no flavor or even good smell. In fact they all tasted the same. Little dirt.
Wondering if anyone knows what I did wrong.

Did you plant from seeds? Sometimes, the desired seeds never sprout and something else comes up that is cared for like it was the correct plant because the ‘newbie’ gardener isn’t familiar with the appearance of the young plants.
I have seen people grow ‘high heaven trees thinking they were maples, crazy as it sounds.
Part of gardening is the constant learning and then relying on experience.
