I dug up the salvia but never did anything with it so I think they are dead
Paula, maybe I'll try burying the rosemary in leaves and see if that works more. I do have a spot by the community garden where I planted a row of rosemary that lived for three years and grew 2 feet tall. It was an unusual spot. The kiosk had a little roof so it was very dry and it was a built up mound of red mulch without much soil for several inches. Lilac planted at the same time is still living, reseeding and expanding. Unfortunately, it is the pink flowered lilac which isn't so showy. I'm going to try replanting the rosemary and see if I can repeat the success.
Parsley is a biennial for me. Cilantro self sows. The portulacas aren't the old fashioned reseeding kind. It's this kind and I've never gotten seed as far as I can tell.
*Edit- I meant to say lavender, not lilac.
