I love herbs in my garden. I love the way they smell and look, and I also love that they attract so many beneficial insects. This year I had growing:
--a couple varieties of basil
--2 kinds of chamomile
--marjoram
--borage
--3 varieties of dill
--chives 2 varieties
--catnip
--germander
--lemon balm
--lemon verbena
--3 kinds of oregano
--pennyroyal
--rosemary
--tansy
--thyme
--hyssop
--4 types of lavender
--lovage
--spearmint
--chocolate peppermint
--rue
--3 kinds of thyme
--parsley
I have lots of varieties of meadow sage, but I think those count as perennials rather than as herbs?
Thinking about my favorites...
--I really like the dill, parsley, and rue because they are hosts for the black swallowtail
--I love the lavender and chamomile for their scent and beauty
--The spearmint is a wonderful pollinator magnet when it is in bloom, as is the catnip
