So after a near-death experience, followed by pruning (heavy-heart, firm hand*), it look as though our oregano, marjoram, and thyme might make it. As you can see, they are much reduced but finally perking up. I still have no idea what happened, but, whatever it is, it seems to be over. And the outside chives are looking stronger than ever.
This summer, though, I think I'll grow flowers.
* not unlike being an editor: our kerbs now have a clear narrative arc...
