    I think spearmint is native to the UK. Also got rosemary, thyme, chives, sage. Plus a raised planter with a mix of opium poppies.

      rosemary

      have a few new and a few mature rosemary bushes and wow, they flower and attract pollinators, they provide free rosemary for cooking and baking bread (HIGHLY RECOMMEND), they require very little love or attention and grow BIG if you let them.

      +1 would plant again

        Mine haven’t flowered that much yet, but perhaps stress from transplanting them could be involved and they are still growing larger. Would be nice to see them flower as I have seen others that look quite nice when they do.

        Will look into the bread, got sourdough starter so may use that.

          yuussss sourdough & rosemary work really well together.

          the flowers are tiny but a beautiful blue-purple and get hella bee action.
