"Verifiable knowledge makes it's way slowly, and only under cultivations. but fable has burrs and feet and claws and wings and an indestructible sheath like weed-seed, and can be carried almost anywhere and take root without benefit of soil or water."- Wallace Stegner
Cleared more weedy, but intentionally planted stuff from around the hedge. Got quite a pile of bricks from under there. Daunted by the remaining clean-up work. Not sure what I will plant there to fill in. Perhaps I'll take cuttings of my parsley and start it there. Do snails like parsley? I find the whole garden a sort of miracle. Much as I put a ton of work in, the results seem far out of proportion to my efforts.

I love that quote!
I'd put herbs where they're handy. Unless you want the excuse to go out into the garden even when you should be doing something else.
Fresca,
It was quoted at the beginning of a Fortean Times article about a woman accusing her ex and her kids school of being a satanic cult. This was just in the past year, so long after the earlier panic was roundly debunked.
Jenny,
I am always up for an excuse to go out in the garden. The parsley would be handy there, as well, though.
The sum of your gardens parts is greater than each of them added up individually.
Phil,
That has to be it.
