So as I begun to dig up the perennial herb garden today, I started to question whether or not I wanted to move all of the mint and oregano to the “new” herb garden alongside the greenhouse.
A few years ago when I planted mint for the first time, I had no idea how invasive it was. I’m not exactly into the whole, free flowing, let plants just grow where they want to grow style of gardening {I mean c’mon people, I have major OCD}, so the fact that the mint has taken over almost an entire 4′ x 8′ raised garden bed seriously stresses my out every time I walk by it.
So what’s a girl to do? I need your help on the mint issue. Should I just dig up a little bit, replant the small amount in the new herb garden, and toss the rest over the back fence, or just move all of it to the new herb garden?
What do you think?
Black Fatty and I had no problem whatsoever moving the chives. I was able to dig up almost all of them and replant the perennial herb along the log border.
The mint and oregano will be going on the other side of the greenhouse, but on the left side, I want to have chives, purple sage {toward the front for color}, and some sort of other tall perennial herb. But what? Is there a perennial herb taller than chives, or should I move the chives to the back of the bed, alongside the greenhouse walls and plant something smaller in front of them?
But what would I plant there? Basil is not an option because I’ll be growing it somewhere else next year.
Help!
What should I do about the mint, and what would look nice with chives and purple sage?
