gardenmermaid,
The May wine sounds delightful. Thanks for the wonderful links you've posted. I've been enjoying the information and learning about new uses for plants. What fun.

Ah, I was wrong about the black cohosh I see, certainly not the first or last time. I really like the idea of using native plants and will plan to try these 3 in the spring.

When you are managing the mints do you pull the whole plant out and root prune? I have always had the problem of them slipping under or over barriers and having them grow into other plants.

I took pieces from existing plants in my garden and planted the crescent so the area doesn't fill up with weeds. I took everyones suggestions and added 2 types of thyme, golden oregano,green and white variegated oregano, and sweet woodruff. I also had a few volunteer tourenias I added for color. It doesn't look like much now but hopefully it will settle in and I can adjust it in the spring. The pots are a little ragged looking but the spearmint and costmary can overwinter in the plastic ones and I can add glazed or terracotta pots in the spring.

This was such a pleasant discussion on herbs I hate to end it. So if you have favorite herbs for shady spots please add them. A friend suggested Chevril, does anyone grow it? I also remember growing Sweet Cicely in the shade.
