Herbs Planted

This morning I planted my herb box.  The last few years I have just had basil, parsley, thyme and mint in containers.  I have read that mint can take over a garden and basil if it reseeds its self will be everywhere, so used pots.  This year I have a box from work that I have segmented into 7 sections to grow my herbs. I planted spearmint, peppermint, thyme, parsley, coriander, lime basil and sweet basil.  I had initially planned an herb box for last year, but that quickly became the carrot/potato box.  So this year I wanted to make sure I put the box in place.  The containers look a little junky and just working on tidying everything up.

I also planted some sunflowers in the bottom flowerbed against the blacksmith shop.  I planted Russian giants and I think it was something like autumn fire.  Just hoping to give a little more color down there and perhaps have some flowers for the table.
