Default Sunny herb garden

Hi Everyone

One of the first tasks I want to do in my new garden is to plant a herb
garden somewhere fairly close to the house. There are various places I could
choose, which get varying amounts of sun. None gets sun all day, but some
places get sun for most of the day. Others just get it for a couple of
hours.

I'm mostly going to be planting fairly traditional herbs: parsley, sage,
rosemary, thyme (isn't there a song in there somewhere?), chives, that sort
of thing. Maybe some more unusual ones as well (I'm open to suggestions!)

How much does it matter how much sun they get? Should I go for maximum sun,
or is a couple of hours in the middle of the day enough? The most convenient
places for planting don't get very much sun.

Many thanks

Adam
