My method: whatever dies, gets replaced with something new! hah! I had to replace some thyme, lavender, artemesia, tarragon. Annual herbs that I use alot for cooking are reserved for the middle barrels: basil, dill, parsley, fennel etc. But I just put in some more taller perennials like Bee Balm & Catmint between the barrels to accompany my sage & salvia and some others to attract bees & butterflies.

I also have a night garden along the west side of the pergola with different moon vines as well as 4 oclocks, Lilac Datura & Devil's Trumpet. I light candles in the lanterns and wait for the night moths with a cold Corona after working all afternoon in the "day" garden.

Here's my moons from last year. I know we're off the subject of Clematis now but trust me, there are a few more on the way!

pretty fun.
