Bought a Hyssop, and a Catmint plant for my herb garden. I think I have around 15 different herbs at the moment...may seem like a lot, but it's nothing like the 200 the average medieval housewife would keep in her garden(yet). I like unusual herbs. If Cannabis(Marijuana) was legal, I'd have a plant in my herb garden. Not to smoke -I hate the stuff- but just because it's (officially) uncommon. The same reason I want Scullcap, which is poisonous. I also have a few 'weeds' that are actually herbs as well(they so don't need deliberate cultivating or encouragement though!), such as Puha(local name for Sow Thistle), Clover, and Chickweed for example. I'm planning to get Echinacea but although my garden centre has them, it's mid-winter and they've been killed by frost. Its a bad look to leave them on display, really. Most of my herbs are in troughs and in a roofed patio for winter, apart from hardy ones like Calendula and common Mint(perhaps I should have included Mint as a weed...).
