I'll get it started with a new plant this season. This year I planted some borage. The beautiful flowers attract the pollinators as well as me.


There are some herbs that I just love but they don't seem to like our zone or my growing conditions. But that hasn't stopped me. I treat those plants as annuals and enjoy them while I can. Tarragon, ornamental oregano, lemon verbena and lavender are ones that come to mind.

This year I placed a lavender plant (don't even think I recorded the cultivar) in a raised succulent bed. It receives blasting sunshine and little moisture. It has bloomed and is now clumping from the roots as well as sending out side shoots of new growth. Could it possibly be? My fingers are crossed. Kristi
