Wanted: Herb starts (Thurston County WA)

11 years ago

I'm looking for some herb starts if anyone in the Olympia area has some I could dig. I am looking for thyme, dill, and catnip. I'm also open to suggestions. Thanks!

    I have thyme and catnip, possibly dill if I get a fall crop going. I also have a lot of medicinal and other herbs that I can get starts or cuttings from if you want. I have marshmallow, monarda, germander and elecampane (which may not be allowed in your area - please check!) in pots. I have a lot of different mints which I can give you starts of. Also I can dig starts of lovage, sweet cicely, chives and LOTS of oregano (lol). Also purple sage (not culinary). I can give you cuttings of some things, too. And I can bring pots of tagetes lucida (Texas tarragon, Mexican marigold mint) which is a strongly scented variety of marigold used as a tarragon substitute in the hot southwest.

    I'm mostly looking for culinary herbs, I'm still sort of new to having an herb garden and using fresh herbs. I feel like that sounds a little silly, but until a few years ago, we really only used garlic, lemon pepper, Italian seasoning and poultry seasoning. Then a Penzey's opened in Colorado Springs and I took advantage of their coupons, suggestions & sample jars to sniff, and we've expanded our herb use greatly, but I am still learning.

    I would really like some chocolate mint if you've got some. I have some Greek oregano, I'm not sure if that's the same as regular oregano not. I've got space, so I'm also open to trying new things.


    Thanks!

    I'm pretty sure I can dig a little chocolate mint for you. Any other mints you're interested in? I'm not sure what I have, but I'll be happy to look and let you know what's in the herb garden. Anything else you can think of? I'm cutting back a lot of things right now so I'm open for any requests.

    Hi there! Are you still planning to attend the Oly swap meet? I have thyme, catnip, chocolate mint and dill for you. I think I have a pot of parsley which is a biennial meaning it will go to seed next year, but it's usable until then if you're interested.
