My Herb Garden

Now that we live in a house, I decided it was time to start a culinary herb garden. I do not have much gardening experience but I decided to give it a whirl.
 The first plant I bought was rosemary. It's doubled in size since I bought it. So far so good.
The thyme seems to be thriving too.
The spearmint is doing really well.
As is the lemon thyme.
The parsley has had yellow leaves since I transplanted it. It seems to be thriving but there are those yellow leaves. Any ideas?
The lavender is doing well. Should I remove the flowers to encourage it to grow?
Greek oregano is also doing really well.
And my basil plant. It's been leaning to the side ever since it was transplanted. Also seems to be growing. Should I worry that it's leaning to the side like that?

I'm excited about growing my own herbs and can't wait to harvest some. Any veteran herb growers with any tips for me?

Spring Has Sprung

It was a beautiful weekend in the PNW. I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the pretty flowers growing in our patio area. Planted courtesy of the previous tenants.

There's also an azalea bush out there too. I can't wait for that to start blooming. Now to get some patio furniture so we can enjoy it!
