Is there a list of herbs that can be safely grown outdoors during
this season?

Mine ain't doing too well (Purple basil, basil, a couple mints,
thyme, oregano, and something I don't even remember what it is).

Depends I guess on where you put them.
Mine are on the West side of the house, and I have Basil, Oregano,
Rosemary, Thyme, Mexican Oregano, 2 types of Sage, Dill, and Dittany.
Fennel and Parsley also do well. I have two different kinds of thyme.

Mint needs a lot of water. I have Catnip growing out of it's mind in the
back yard in a raised garden bed. It's in with the Asparagus. :-) That
is on the North side of the house so is protected from the South
sunlight, but gets plenty in the morning and evening from the East and
West. Dad also has comfrey planted, as well as Mullien and Lambs Ear.
The Lambs ear is on it's second season and I can't believe it's growth
rate! It's on the west fence and gets plenty of sun all day.

Hope this helps???

cooking.... except for Basil. :-( )
