This year I have decided not to have a dedicated herb bed, instead I will intersperse the herbs amongst the vegetables in the hope that this will confuse the various vegetable predators. The other technique that I am eager to try is successional sowing and under sowing main crops with other plants.

 

Areas marked as green below indicate that the bed has been prepared and planted. Plant names that are underlined have links to information about those plants.

Previous plans can now be found at these links 2006 and 2007
