Talk about "due diligence"! You've certainly been busy.
While not as overtly industrious as you, we've been having adventures with aromatics, too. We used to take our walks down in the city park, which is very crowded, noisy, and dusty. Since they've cut down almost all the trees, it's also flat and unrelievedly hot, no fun in the summer-time.
Fortunately, we found the nature trail down the road and have been going there several times a week [the official target is 5, which we've mostly made, in spite of all the rain recently]. There are still far too many other people [the two dirtiest words in the language, no? ;)], but, to quote John Denver, it's "cool, and green, and shady."
There's a small garden, where I recently introduced my spouse to the joy of fondling lemon balm, spearmint, & peppermint. The basil, oregano, rosemary [aka "pinetree bits", since that's what it looks like], etc. he molested on his own; they're a bit *too* aromatic for me. :)
