What is it with women and plants?

Her next step is a herb garden, with varying degrees of success but everything has survived so far. From left to right, (I have been informed) there's chervil, chives. dill, garlic chives, lemon balm, lemon thyme, mint, oregano, parsley (flat and curly) rocket, rosemary, tarragon, and thyme.
I don't know if she has any recipes to try with these and will spring them on me, but then, I am only the lawnmower man.
