Hello Ginger
My first plot was almost clifftop on a blowy bit of the North Cornwall coast.
I had no problem growing herbs, sage did well as did thyme Garlic was vey happy.
Bay survived well in pots. Parsley etc,etc,etc.
I found the trick with my growing,( especially if you consider veggies) was to stick close to the ground nothing to tall. Dwarf varieties.
Any way have full with your ground and good luck.
