Post #5243921

I want to try to do a full garden, but I don't know how to plot it out. I need to know what to put where and how much space I should give each plant. I want to have it completely filled in when it matures.
I want the largest plants in the back with the plants like creeping thyme, saffron and wild thyme blurring the edge of the lawn.

Here are the plants I want to plant:
Basil Ocimum ?
Black Cumin Nigella sativa
Catnip Nepeta cataria
Chives Allium schoenoprasum
Cilantro Coriandrum sativum spp. Santo
Creeping Thyme Thymus praecox
Dill Anethum graveolens
Echinacea Echinacea purpurea
Garlic Allium sativum
Garlic Chives Allium tuberosum
Ginger Mint Mentha x gracilis
Onions Allium capa
Oregano (Zorba Red) Origanum vulgare subsp. Hirtum spp. Zorba Red
Oregano Origanum vulgare
Peppermint Mentha x piperita
Rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis
Safflower Carthamus tinctorius
Saffron Crocus sativus
Sage Saliva … any/all
Scarlet Pineapple Sage Saliva elegans spp. Scarlet Pineapple
Spearmint Mentha spicata
Tarragon Artemisia dracunculus
Welsh Onion Allium fistulosum
Wild Thyme Thymus serpyllum

I need to know where I should put these and decide which ones I don't have room for. I'll put those in containers.

I have more information on all these plants if you need it.
