I like to buy seeds the first year I plant. They are cheap, they tell me a lot about the small area of the yard I am working with, and they also tell me what is going to require more than plant it and forget it. I kept tract of what went in where and noted the results for next year.
Rosemary - planted in rear garden strip: needs to be moved next year to patio garden due to sparse growth.
Thyme ( common) - planted in rear garden strip: also needs to be moved to patio garden. Note: keep Lisa from pulling it out this year thinking it is a weed!
