CL>       ** I'm a new subscriber here in the Gettysburg, PA area and a
CL>hardcore herb freak. I'd say if you've made a positive ID and  it isn't
CL>growing too close to a road, go for it.
I'm certain it is chamomile.  Problem is that I delayed too long in
deciding to harvest it and it is long past its prime.  The flowers have
changed to seed.  Huge crop next year!
CL>JK>Just got some sage and rosemary to put in with some other low shrubs.
CL>JK>I am going to keep looking for herbs for that area.
CL>       You got rosemary to grow? I love that herb, using it often in 
cooking
CL>with vegetables, but I have no success in getting it to grow. You'll have 
to
CL>tell me your secret.
I had some in with my dwarf rhoddies last year in full sun.  It grew and
grew, finally then died out.  This time I am putting it with some other
small plants in an area that will get some shade.
CL>JK>I planted an oak tree next to my two holly trees.  I think there
is CL>JK>something way back trying to say something:)
CL>       Now if you get yourself an ash tree, you'll have quite a, shall we
CL>say, druidic collection?
Ash tree?  I'm not certain what that is but will ask.
CL>       I do try to grow a lot of herbs, but my favorite is the mint 
amily.
CL>I just got true peppermint this year to go along with the apple mint,
CL>pineapple mint, orange mint and chocolate mint. There is a greenhouse 
orth
CL>of me in Grantham, PA called Ashcombes and they are celebrating their herb
CL>festival tomorrow with all their herbs on sale for $.99. Hopefully, I'll 
e
CL>able to complete my mint collection.
I have seen some mint, but not lately.  The herbs seem to be more
plentiful in the spring.  Then I will get some mint for iced tea.
