All I can suggest is grow the herbs you use regularily and try and get as many leaf and height variations as possible!
This is the first time I have ever quoted myself!:eek

Did a bit of weeding on the herb wheel today and thought my Bergamot had died but on inspection it had sprung into growth. Divided it up into three pieces and I should be able to fill one segment with it! Brilliant stuff if you stick a few leaves in with a tea bag and make your own version of Earl Grey. Very pretty flowers as well.
Also found some Golden Savoury in there which I may dig up and use for edging, some lemon balm and an indetermiate herb which looks a bit like a larger leaved thyme, possibly summer or winter savoury methinks, or I seem to remember sowing some Hysop last year, it could be that I suppose!
In the mints I have pineapple mint(variagated)apple mint, spearmint and peppermint....I think?
