Green Thumb Sunday: Kenilworth Gardens, DC
A bit of what DC used to be like before it became DC… with some non-native additions. You can see my entire set of pictures from the day’s excursion here.

Planning for Herbs
I’m cross-posting this on a forum I belong to, but I’d like to hear from others as well.
I’m planning an herb garden for outside our kitchen, and thinking about what I can’t live without this year. Do you guys have plants that you must have in your garden/herb garden?
My must-haves for this year are:
Echinacea
Mondarda
Basil
Marjoram
Thyme
Oregano (an edible and an ornamental this year, I think)
Lavender
Shiso
Are there any unusual herbs that you grow?
