So after a near-death experience, followed by pruning (heavy-heart, firm hand*), it look as though our oregano, marjoram, and thyme might make it. As you can see, they are much reduced but finally perking up. I still have no idea what happened, but, whatever it is, it seems to be over. And the outside chives are looking stronger than ever.
This summer, though, I think I’ll grow flowers.

Yet I can't help but wonder how they are going to feel about being eaten after having struggled back to life.
tranceptor, they'll be ecstatic: it's their Purpose.
Ha! I did wonder if they might resurrect – have had my fingers crossed.
Jude, the hard part now is being patient, waiting for them to grow sufficiently to go back to eating them. I'm hungry!
Nicola, I can't help but laugh a little as I imagine cannibals saying the same thing while sitting at the dinner table.
