Peter, Ha! So you're getting ready for spring planting. Sounds like a pleasant temperate climate. As for your choices, if you're a basil lover, there are many different varieties you might want to look into, each with slightly different flavors. They do best when planted in early summer. There are also a few different types of chives. I grow the common one and snip it almost daily. I plan to try garlic chives next year.
I'm not familiar with misting outdoor herbs. Please drop in again and let us know how that works out!
