The one thing I've heard about herbs is......if you don't want them taking up a lot of space....plant them in pots! Most are spreaders and can just go and go! Mint, for example, is voracious...and in time will take up most of your bed! I spose you could do raised beds and curtail them to just that space.....but for the most part they can be hardy and really take off if you aren't careful!
I can't remember (from the spring/summer thread) exactly what you usually plant......and so I'll lay off the suggestions till I know what you and Cobalt are up for!
Oh goodie! I love getting my spring/summer catalogs on days when I know snow is coming and the months drag on and it's colder than a brass commode on the shady side of an iceberg!!! It makes me warm all over to look at them!
*Goes to the mailbox and reaches far into the back in case the catalogs got scrunched in*
