I have tried a variety of herbs there and so far the only thing that
is doing well is that rosemary and the chives... I moved the basil
to the veg. garden several years ago b/c we use a lot of it and it
hadn't done well in the "herb" garden bed... I agree about getting
those azaleas and phlox out of there - maybe if we do that and cut
the rosemary back I'll be inspired enough to draw up a little herb
garden plan and give it another chance...
That reminds me of another chore - get rid of the old gas grill that
kicked the bucket in January...:/
