Hello.. This is going to be a gallery of my garden. If you would like a cutting or seeds from any of these plants, PM me and I will most likely do it free of charge. (Except for a few species that I will require something in return)
HERB #1 - Garlic Chives

HERB #2 - Tuscan Blue Rosemary

HERB #3 - Goriza Rosemary

HERB #4 - Italian Flat Leaf Parsley

HERB #5 - Italian Oregano

HERB #6 - Mint from California (Don't think it matters where its from though)


FRUIT #1 - Meyer Lemon Tree (Has little lemons already!!!)


Thats all I got atm.. Looking to expand soon! Remember if you want seeds or a cutting from any of these, PM me and I will see what I can do free of charge... (Some I may have to charge for... Especially as my herb garden expands to rarer things)

Cool, nice going! I wish we had a bit of the Texas climate. During summers, I can't complain with my south-facing balcony, but plants like citrus tend to freeze during winter.

@koraks - Yes, Texas weather is nice for citrus and is good for growing most plants..
@IIIIfish - Thank you! Garlic Chives are great, can grow in most decently warm climates, and taste great!! Add some chopped garlic chives on top of steak or chicken and it tastes great. I also sometimes just eat some chives by themselves if I'm bored!

fresh herbs are amazing. plus when you get overwhelmed and they are all ripe at once invest in a few large decent extra virgin olive oil and make fresh infused herby olive oil. great for dressings and finishing.
