I have a couple of more "ornamental" (grown for flowers rather than for the kitchen) basils to start yet, if I get to them... I definitely need to start some Thai 'Siam Queen', for the gorgeous flowerheads as well as the tasty leaves!

I do get a little obsessed about basil... so many fun kinds to try! I like growing different thymes, too... there are a lot of scent/flavor/color/texture variations there, especially among the various "creeping" thymes.

I experimented for a while with some of the fancy mint hybrids from Jim Westerfield, but I lost most of them (in pots) one year and have pretty much just stuck with Chocolate Peppermint and Kentucky Colonel Spearmint now... although I think there's still some variegated pineapple mint running around in another spot.
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
