ideal herb garden?

This is all a help, thank you. I think a lot of pots is the best way Meanwhile enjoying my mint tea..
I love bergamot, never thought of growing it though. off to look at that link Periwinkle x

 

Yes you can, just fork it in among the plants that you think need it. Best to test the soil first though and careful not to add too much.

 

Don't forget the Lovage!!!
Extremely useful herb, versatile, very productive and tough as old boots

 

does lovage flower? and does it grow in any conditions?

 

Lovage does flower, but its not that decorative. Yellowish umbilifera flowers at 3-7ft - but it does produce seeds which can be stored and used in winter.

Lovage will grow in most conditions except hot and dry but does best in a fertile soil that does not dry out.

One plant will produce armfulls of leaves to use in salads ( especially good with potato salad ) in soups, casseroles, with fish etc etc
