My potted herbs this year

The plants here are, from the top down: lemon balm, peppermint, chamomile, catnip, and hyssop. The last pic just shows all of the pots together. I started these from seed earlier this year.

Interesting, clean looking plants! Do you eat your herbs? How do they taste compared to the store?

Is there a reason they are still in pots? They would probably do better if you dug a bed for them to go in the ground

Yeah, I know. When I have time I will probably put the hyssop and chamomile in the ground. The others(catnip, lemon balm, peppermint) I think are all in the mint family, and I'm cautious about them escaping and running rampant through the garden. Especially the lemon balm. Also, I've been sort of lazy.

Thank you! I don't exactly eat them, occasionally I make tea, but I love smelling them and I have tasted a leaf or two of each to see what they taste like. Compared to store-bought? I wouldn't know, because I've never actually bought or even seen any of these at stores.
