I'm surprised winter savory did not make it. I have some in our curb area that has done well for quite a few years. I hope you've started harvesting your greens.

Your slope plantings have inspired me! Wish I could grow heather here in my zone 5 garden. I was in Portland for the July Fling and couldn't believe how hot it was! I think our summers were reversed this year as we were cooler and wetter than usual.
