« on: March 28, 2010, 10:54 »

(This is one of the designer garden  :( we bought in and the patch am talking is a raised bed sort of)

I think parsely and mint can tolerate some shade. Why not try a selection and see how they do.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

My herb bed only gets sun for a couple of hours in high summer and we grow thyme, sage, chives, garlic chives, mint, red-veined sorrel,  marjoram, summer savoury, hyssop. They do ok, but the thyme doesn't always survive the winter.

The less time you have, the more becomes available.
