Herb seeds came in the mail, already preparing for spring

A few of these need stratification for months before planting.
Some I've grown before, some are new to me.

How do you use these herbs? Apart from marjoram.
@Flenflyys Some have medicinal uses, skullcap for example is a significant antioxidant and also relieves anxiety. Has a calming effect. I mix it with other herbs like lemon balm to make tea.
Others, like henbane, are poisonous but have flowers that attract pollinators.
Thornapple is a very potent hallucinogen but using too much will kill you, so I don't recommend playing with it. What's really special about this plant, to me, is it makes trumpet-like flowers that only open up in the moonlight. During the day they look like rolled up cigarettes. There's a cultivated variety with flowers that stay open all day, but that's not as fun.

@robingoodfellow wow thanks for the info, Thor apple sounds especially neat. Which zone are you in?
@Flenflyys this is zone 7

@robingoodfellow oh shit I don’t think that will work in my zone 2
@Flenflyys i think you can probably still grow these.
