I have perennial herbs in a half barrel and in the flower bed. The flower bed has both common chives and garlic chives. When I planted them four years ago I also tried planting other things but they are the only thing to survive and keep coming back. I have since planted chrysanthemums but only one of them have come back this year. The half barrel has thyme, mint, lemon balm, and strawberries. I also plant annuals there. A couple years ago I had nasturtium and a lovely anise flavored herb. I can't seem to remember what it was called.
This year I have added three potted herbs; rosemary, boxwood basil, and hot and spicy oregano. I'm really excited about the basil. I have basil and cilantro in with the tomatoes, but this one may actually be able to be brought in to last through the winter. It will be interesting to try. I set up a shelf in front of the window today, so I will have a better place to over winter my plants.
