Last year everything was late. It was my first year growing mostly
from seed and the rain kept me out of the garden until May. I
thought that these herbs had died but they came back this year. I
don't recognize them so I don't think they are weeds. I posted them
in alt.binaries.pictures.gardens. I had to do the last of the 3
posts over. It didn't up-load.

I'd appreciate any help and I apologize for the quality of the
snaps. It was a rush job as usual. If they don't get identified,
I'll do better next time.

3a looks like a mint on the left and maybe lavender or
tarragon on the right.

Brush your fingers on the leaves and see what those
plants smell like.

Mints normally (always?) have square stems.

Yeah, your right Jan, it does look like a mint (square stem and all)
but it doesn't have a mint smell and it's not "self-heal".

Did you plant bee-balm? It has a sq. stem IIRC and it won't have a mint
smell.

Frag, mint it is but I can't find a description that mentions pink
leaves (most are green) or lower stalks being pink. I really thought you
had it because I unsuccessfully started some last year. So it is a very
good guess. I don't think it could have crossed with anything in the
yard because it never got to flower. It's getting late. I'll re-examen
tomorrow.

Thanks,
