Hi Fellow NGA Swappers,

I know I just posted a wish list earlier this week, but I wanted to add an addendum.
I'm really interested in HERBS!!!

To share what I already typically use (meaning I don't really need more of this), these are my regulars and basics: Genovese basil, chives, oregano, mint, lavender, oregano, sage, and if you count edible flowers I grow some nasturtiums, calendula, and flowers from all the various veggies.

I'm very much interested in expanding my knowledge base and use of herbs, and thus, increasing which varieties I grow in my garden.

There are many ways someone might approach how they categorize herbs, but the basic framework I'm using at the moment is Culinary - cooking and baking, Medicinal - curative powers and/or healing properties, and Ornamental - brightly colored flowers and foliage. So, anything that fits into any of these categories (and maybe others?) is top of mind for me in seed swapping!

Best,

Jen
