...the sage, although leggy, seems healthy enough. The thyme is a little ragged, but should survive, I think.
Our sage survived quite well for some years beside the rosemary bush, then suddenly died off in the space of a few weeks, without any apparent cause. The thyme was just swamped by the overgrowth of the rosemary, which I really should have cut back. The marjoram jumped ship, and now grows in the front lawn; it's covered in mauve flowers at the moment.
...it's also mildly toxic, so the birdies aren't likely to est msny of them even if the stripes don't work :-)
If they do, I imagine they'd get a bit of a stomach-ache, and won't bother with them again...
