Chives easy to grow here. the lavender flower heads are attractive and fresh chives are good in salads, soups and whatever.

A variety of oregano also does well. Don't know the variety, it came from New Mexico. It is less pungent ("sweeter") than the Greek. Seeds well, so lots of plants now. Good in bean soups.

Leaves of wild Tarda tulips are dying. I got 6 bulbs years ago, and they havemultiplied and done well here. One of the first bloomers here in our cold spring season. White with yellow center, and some pure yellow.
