Herbie goes Gardening (Gardening goes Herbie?)
Now that spring is starting to poke its nose out from under the winter covers, my mind is wandering back towards the garden. I have decided to plant a small herb garden in the backyard but I'm not sure what to plant. Has anyone got any suggestions for a sometimes shady, sometimes hot patch of soil?

Uh - hard to say. Why not visiting a garden centre or something like this and get some inspiration there?
Or have a look at a good gardeners catalogue - I like this one (see below), but of course it would be wiser to choose an Australian one ;-)
But maybe have a look at the catalogue - there are so many interesting plants and hints if they need a lot of light or water or whatever, and if they are easy to grow or not:

Yes, hard to say, since I don't know what grows in your climate. But the idea of a herb garden is wonderful
@ Bodecea -
Thanks for the link! I'll have a look.
@ Diana -
Yes, I'm really looking forward to planting it because the spot I've chosen is immediately opposite our back stairs so (hopefully) I'll have lovely herbs to greet me whenever I go out into the yard.
Bugle is gud in the shade, an anuther herb calld sweet cicely. An so is a shrub calld erm, not shor but Mummy calls it a Bleeding Heart Bush. Yeah, that likes it warm and shadey. Do yu get them thare?
