My Herb Garden, part 2

 

 If you want to see part 1, it is here.

Here is where we left off last time.
 
My spearmint overwintered inside.  It appears I need to get rid of the weed that has infiltrated the pot.  My dill, which I planted not long ago, is doing well.  
 
My spider/airplane plant hasn't improved much since I brought it outside.  I keep hoping, though.
 
Peppermint I overwintered indoors.  On the right is another milkweed plant I grew from seed.
 
Not long after I took this photo, I transferred this milkweed to a larger pot and threw the broken pot away.
 
This large pot of dill sits on my patio table.  I've been harvesting it as I need it.
 
I've now identified this as more oregano.
 
This is lemon thyme.
 
This is another pot of oregano.
 
This is another type of rosemary called Coin Blue, or Tuscan Blue.
 
 
Here's another look at Comfry.  It overwintered inside and is now doing great.
 
And I have another Tuscan Blue rosemary.
 
Sadly, my rather pricey Painted Sage didn't make it.
 
This is another milkweed plant I grew from seed.
 
This is sweet basil I'm growing from seed.
 
 
This is another pot of sweet basil I'm growing from seed.

 

This is the Thai basil, also from seeds.  This is two packages of seeds.

 

And finally, two of the bell peppers I got in a four pack.  The other two are in the veggie garden.
 
Thanks for joining me in my herb garden.  I am grateful for your visit.

My basil seeds have sprouted and look like yours. I'm not a spider plant expert, but mine don't like super amounts of sun. Just partial. I don't know how much sun you get in your herb garden, but it's just a thought. You've been busy, and hope your milkweed flowers so you can enjoy those beautifully scented flowers. Hope it's a great THursday ahead. hugs-Erika

A herb garden is so refreshing. Yours is lovely!! I am sorry about your sage plant though. It can be tricky sometimes to know what a plant really wants.

I love to see fresh herbs and I wish I could reach into the blogger screen to smell a few of these beauties. Yum.

Great herbs! The lemon dill sounds interesting. Hopefully you will see this comment. I wanted to stop by and answer your question about my cup for TSFT. Yes, it was from Spice Merchant. I love their cups. I now have a hummingbird one and a butterfly one. Love the feel of them. I hope you are having a good weekend.
