[iwantanallotment]

and chervil, borage, angelica, lovage, lemon balm, tarragon, marjoram, lavender.........

[diggerjoe]

ditto most of the others especially lots of mints some of the apple and pineapple mints are great in salads and oregano as well - I try and grow basil every year but as yet it fails every time - but parsley - this year its still going strong outside  due to mild weather - has anyone ever used myrtle in cooking? or grown blackcurrant sage :?:

[naturesparadise]

thanks for all the replies so far keep them coming

[nobby]

parsley lots
basil  lots
coriander lots
garlic  tones
summer and winter savory for all those beens

[Aunt Sally]

Mint - to go with the lamb (and Pimms)

Parsley - the curly stuff

basil - to go with toms.

Dill - for fish and eggs

Oregano - for Italian dishes

Rosemary's a shrub so you can't do that this year

Chives - snip into all sorts of things (not deserts though)

That's about all I like  

[matron]

Sage, parsley, rosemary, mint and chives for us. I have seen on here someone had difficulty getting hold of apple mint so could corner a market there.

[Ann]

Rosemary, thyme, lemon thyme, basil, mint and chives.

This year I have lime basil and red basil as well.

[naturesparadise]

I try not to have to buy herbs!  That said, in the winter and early spring I buy lots of leaf coriander and fenugreek for curries, lemon thyme if mine is completely dormant (it doesn't seem to dry as well as the normal stuff), and basil and chervil for salads.  Out of season, I normally just use dried rosemary, sage, marjoram and normal thyme, and hold out for the rest for summer treats.

[Ice]

Loads of flat leaf parsley and mint.  Rosemary, basil, bay, lemon balm, oregano, french tarragon, thyme, lemon thyme, dill, chives and fennel, just for starters.
