I've decided it's time to try mint again. The last time I had it, I followed the tried-and-true advice to plant it in a pot, and plunge the pot into the soil. Daily that plant sent out runners faster than I could snip them back - ACK!
So this time, I'm going to try something a little different. My new herb garden is going to be roughly 4'x4' with a sundial atop a pedestal in the middle. I'm thinking of getting some urn-shaped planters and setting either one on each side of the pedestal, or even four of them, set around the pedestal.
One (or maybe two, if I do four) can hold mint, but I'd like a couple other low-growing/trailing annual herbs to fill up the other two.
(I thought about Thyme, but it tends to become a little scruffy and straggly after the summer heat, so I'm really looking for something that will remain lush and full throughout the summer.)
The rest of the bed will be filled with herbs, both annual and perennial. I'll probably do some tight basils in the corners to complete the "formal" look...
Any ideas?
