Herbage

I bought a flat of herbs yesterday afternoon at my local organic nursery.  I had so much fun wandering around their shelves of herbs, tasting herbs and brushing their leaves for aroma!

You can see my basil and the tips of my tomato plants in the box behind these.

I picked up two types of lavender, several kinds of thyme (great for along borders and in between stepping stones not to mention cooking!)  a few varieties of oregano, 3 kinds of sage.... oh and the verbena I wrote about earlier, and 3 more salvia.  Most of these I plan to put out front in the area that I would like to become my new herb garden... A few will go in the back.  Meanwhile, they are just so fresh and beautiful all gathered together in the flat!  They smell heavenly.
