6 Unusual Herbs to Plant in Your Spring Garden

I am because I cannot wait to plant my herb garden! These 6 herbs are fragrant and exotic; they can transport you to another place. Hyssop evokes the Mediterranean, and chervil will remind you of Paris. Lemon basil and chocolate mint will entice you with their super fragrant leaves. Savor the fresh flavor of Mexico with fresh epazote, or go on a journey to Ireland when you smell your caraway plants.

Well, I have a couple of these in my yard, but the others sound really good too. Will have to find a spot for them as well.

I am going to have to look for the Carraway and Hyssop seeds, looks awesome! I have many of the mints and love all of them, I also got some orange mint last year, I hope it returns. Smiles, Cyndi
