I've never done many herbs (mainly rosemary, parsley and sage) but this year I'm wanting to do a bunch.
spearmint
lemon balm
lemon thyme (my oldest sister got me a plant last year)
rosemary
sage
cilantro
parsley
basil
dill
thyme
lavender (not sure exactly why I'm doing that: I don't even like it!!!)
yarrow
stevia
pennyroyal
majoram

Sounds like a good list of herbs . One thing on mints is that they can really take over, so watch where they are planted. But they do have wonderful aromas, especially the chocolate mints.
Don't know where you live, but basil has to have warmth. I'm in Ohio and its the last herb planted each spring.
Enjoy your herbal endeavors!

Yeah, any mint I plant will stay in pots. My mom and I planted mint in her raised concrete flower beds in front of the house and they practically over-ran the hostas...not that I minded (I hated hostas) but Mom has been ripping out mint for the past 10 years and still can't get rid of it. *LOL* Last year we finally demolished the entire raised bed, stripped everything out, extended it 2 feet into the yard, and put in all-new plants so we'll see if it comes back this year!
