    What herbs are perennial and what are annuals

    Yes, the lavender does get woody. I prune mine and keep it small. My Greek oregano didn't make it through a particularly hot summer. Was the same year the lemon balm didn't survive. The lemon balm and mints do tend to take over. The purslane, too. I like growing them in containers and...

    Would You Like a Print from a 19th Century Catalog?

    I, too, will spend more time than I ought to, looking at that. What a treasure. :) Thank you very much.

    weed that snaps and shoots out its seed when touched? (in Georgia)

    I think I've got both of those plants growing in my herb containers. I like to leave the "weeds" and see what they turn into. I'll eat some and report back in the next day or two.

    seed catalogs

    Horizon herbs is my favorite, so far. I've had success with all the packets of seeds I've bought, and the customer service is really nice and helpful. I get the paper catalogs and read them over and over, and over. :) (They have vegetables, fruit, some trees, flowers, too, not just herbs.)

    Perennial edibles in zone 7B? What are you growing?

    I'm slowly switching to growing only perennial edibles. Am in zone 7B and so far, other than herbs, have had success with leeks, chives, and green onions. Anyone else focussing on perennial edibles?

    Going simple

    HD, nice list! I wish you all the best with the celery. It's too hot to grow it where I am, so I grow lovage instead.

    Tell me about spaghetti squash, please

    I'm going to try growing spaghetti squash in containers this year. :) It'll be my "wild card" veggie. I usually stay with leaf radishes and leaf brassica, but like to grow something as a bit of a lark each year. I got some Botanical Interests seeds today. I usually wait and plant seeds...

    stevia?

    I'm in zone 7B. I've had stevia survive some winters, and die in some winters. I will be planting stevia from seeds this year, saved from earlier years. Will see how they do. I grow mine in pots. Stevia plants seem to have the needs and vulnerabilities as mint, in my experience.

    What herbs are perennial and what are annuals

    I'm in gardening zone 7B. I have rosemary and French lavender in the ground. They have made it through several winters just fine. Perennials in pots: parsley, leeks, mint, lemon thyme, winter savory, chives, green onions, and lovage. The green onions, lovage, thyme, and parsley grew through...
