The herbs we chose to plant this year are mostly the basics: chives, oregano, sage, peppermint, rosemary, and basil. We did choose a few adventurous ones too. They are: chocolate mint, pineapple mint, Greek oregano, and cilantro. You may be thinking "Did she say mint like three times? I hope she knows what she is in for!" Yes, we have been forewarned. It is a highly invasive plant. That is o.k. I put each kind in a big area and I hope they spread and everything fills in nicely. I love peppermint tea and would like to try drying the leaves and making my own. Who knows, maybe one day it will be for sale here on localharvest.org. We will see. I'll keep you posted. Pictured below is, first, the pineapple mint and then the oregano. Regular and Greek. The Greek oregano has a purple color to it's leaves.
