What herbs do you have in your garden?

[Gryfon]

At the moment I have:

Rosemary
Purple sage
Curly parsley
Coriander (although it's looking very sorry for itself)
3 types of oregano/marjoram (can't remember what's what!)
Fennel
Thyme
Tarragon
4 different types of lavender
Mint

And I have more seeds to grow of basil, chives and chamomile.

So what do you have and what do you actually use lots of? I find I don't really use much sage or the oregano/marjoram. Although now I have a new herb bed which is nice and easy to get into hopefully I will use it more!

[JILLY JACKSON]

I have ,Rosemary,chives ,lemon balm,mint,thyme, marjoram,Seedlings of basil (under cover still.)Oh and fennel

[JILLY JACKSON]

Sorry ,didnt answer the question of use.I now use lemon balm as a night time drink,(mixed with nice tasting stuff)The rosemary i use in the oven with roast chicken,mint with new spuds,chives are cut up into salad and the others i dont use as much.

[Safhyre]

I have mint only...I am hoping to grow basil, chives and oregano...not sure about anything else

[RowanStar]

I got Bay, lavender and feverfew at the moment, need to get some more

[Alison]

Have just revitalised my herb pots and now have bay, standard mint, pineapple mint, chives, thyme, purple sage, curry plant, perpetual rocket and rosemary in the garden and corriander, basil, dill, flat leaved parsley and chervill started off in pots inside. I tend to use all of the above quite a bit, had a lovely pasta dish last night with thyme and oregano included.

I've got:
Lavender (various types)
Tarragon
Fennel
Dill
Parsley
Basil (various types)
Verbena
Borage
Sorrel
Thyme (various)
Oregano
Chamomile
Mint
Lemon Balm
Chives
Garlic Chives
Vervain
Feverfew
Woodruff
Sage
Rosemary
Coriander
Curry Plant
Rocket

I would say I use the mediterranean herbs most along with chives, parsley and mint. I use the borage leaves as an alternative to cucumber and the others as and when.

[Sweepster]

I have purple sage, golden (?) sage, lavender (various), oregano, rosemary, lemon balm, mint, purple fennel, bay, and thyme. Plus flat-leaved parsley and basil growing on the windowsill. Need to get some more chives, they've disappeared.

Use mostly mint, basil, parsley, chives and rosemary. The oregano is for the bees, they love it. Chucked some borage seeds around last year to no apparent consequence, so will be watching to see if any appear this year.

What herbs do you have or are you going to have?

At the moment I have only 3 big clumps of chives,kindly given to me last year by my friend.The rosemary sadly hasn't survived the winter.After finding out that marjoram is a perennial,I was hoping that something would make appearance in last year's pot.Nothing so far.

I have planted the following ones:
mint
parsley(curly amd flat leaved,tonnes)
dill(tonnes)
thyme-2 varieties
rosemary
lovage

Can't remember what else...

[deezyb]

I love herbs and have several pots growing inside and out....they are:

curly and flat leaved parsley
2-3 pots of chives
rosemary
standard mint
lemon thyme
standard fennel
bronze fennel
rosemary
dill
cumin
coriander

I think that's it!

We've got a newish herb bed under the front window, where it's warm and quite dry in the summer. It's home to a standard bay, greek 'hot and spicy' oregano, sage, purple sage, golden marjoram, thyme, fennel, lavender. And in the shady corner chives, mint, parsley & lovage

[MrsC]

Love herbs, I have chives, garlic chives, chocolate mint, lime mint, ginger mint, apple mint, pineapple mint, spear mint, couple of varieties of thyme, golden marjoram, oregano, bronze fennel, standard fennel, purple sage, variegated sage, dill, lemon balm, coriander, lots of basil - one of my favourites, curry plant, bay, rosemary, lavender and a few more I can't remember at the moment. Lots of others about to be sown I use loads of chives and basil and most of the others, but love herbs as well for the bees they attract

[Gryfon]

Great variety all! Most of my herbs aren't looking too happy that we dug them up and moved them, sure they'll forgive me though and come back!

I planted nasturtiums today in the back of the bed to grow up a trellis I'm going to have behind it. Also sowed the basil and chives and planted the tarragon and mint (in a pot).

[rogesse]

I'm with MrsC -love herbs and grow far more varieties than I use particularly ones that attract insects.

For example; OH loves hoverflies so there is a big clump of Fennel I rarely use and we have a huge swathe of chives that becomes a carpet of bees when the flowers are out. One plant would do us for eating purposes!

I've just added Lady Mantle - because I love the way dew and rain lays on the leaves like little spheres of mercury and Beebalm - it is very striking, you can make an earl gray like tea from the leaves and given it's name it should do exactly what it says on the pot and be nirvana for our fuzzy little pollinating pals

Have loads of Lady's Mantle too! I let certain chives flower and the rest I use, good for the bees as you say
