My new pergola is being delivered in a couple of weeks and I'm ridiculously excited and I'm planning to plant herbs around it. It will be on a south facing slope with well drained soil. So far I have- fennel, sage, rosemary, two types of mint, two types of thyme, lemon balm, lovage, oregano, marjoram, chives and parsley.

Listing them all now, I've probably got enough Grin But recently I've developed this obsession with growing things that I can use for something (either food or in homemade cosmetics). What have you all got in your garden that you can use? I also have calendula and nasturtiums and a small fruit and veg patch. But I need more. I wonder if DH would notice if I dug up the lawn to make more space...

Welsh onions with the chives.

Broccoli - if it doesn't sprout (like ours) then the leaves can be eaten like kale.

Coriander.

Rocket. We have a wee rocket hedge. It's surprisingly hardy, but gets pepperier with age.
