Vicki-

I just signed up to rent a plot for a garden here in Alexandria. It's partially shaded, but flat. I've garden before, but really wanted to do an herb garden for gifts and things. Any suggestions on herbs to start with? Ones that make for good recipes or lotions/massage oils. I will only have the plot until November and I don't have room in my condo to bring everything in so they would need to annuals.

I'm really excited about this and can't wait to get started.
