Post #5661363

I'm trying to get some control over my small herb/vegetable/fruit/flower garden. I have a small area that I'm adding a few stepping stones so I can reach what is in the center (strawberries and pansies and hopefully spinach for now). It's the crescent shaped area along the walkway. The edges get sun but it will mostly be shaded by grapevines in the summer. I was thinking of a ground cover type herb like thyme or oregano but it would have to take more shade. Any ideas?

I seem to change the herb garden every year sometimes adding more flowers or vegetables, sometimes going back to mostly herbs, I still haven't found the balance or design I want to keep. I was wondering if other gardeners alter their herb garden each year or have found the perfect design and plants?
