Culinary and Medicinal Herb Garden

Got a few of my herbs planted last week!  Had to bring them in to protect them from the frost this weekend. Planted Lemon Thyme, French Thyme, and Spicy Orange Thyme.  I also planted Spice Island Rosemary and Gorizia Rosemary.  These are on the herb shelves outside the kitchen door.
