How fun. :-) Thanks for the update Koko!

I have to re-do my outdoor herb garden from scratch. The Mexican Oregano
is still alive as is the Dittany, but I have to find a new Thyme plant
etc. I had a rock wainscotting put around my house earlier this year
and my herbs were close to the house on the West side.

In order to put the limestone facing up, they had to dig and add extra
foundation to hold the weight. The contractor knew I wanted to
eventually stone fact the entire house over instead of just having the
current wainscotting so built the footing accordingly.

I had to dig up and pot the herbs on that side except for the MO as
that's a bush and could not be moved. It was forward enough, they were
able to work around it.

The Thyme did not survive potting. <sigh>

The Dittany did tho' which I'm glad of as that one is hard to find.
I'm going to rock in the herb bed and make it a bit deeper with some new
topsoil before replanting. Now I have to work around that concrete...

My rosemary died last summer so I had to replace that one anyway. I've
got Russian Sage coming back up from seed in a different spot in the
yard, so that's taken care of. :-)
