**** I've been gone quite a long time. However I'm still breathing though it's touch and go. Don't expect me to answer or check in much. ****Welcome to the junkdrawer that is my brain! I know something about many things, and I if I don't know it, I admit that I don't know. That I am constantly finding things I know nothing about and correcting that ignorance keeps me busy and happy. More junk for the drawer.
I love and have experience with many types of animals, including the human. I don't offend easy and I am generally cynical and a smart-butt. I love to drive, read, work on the computer and I spend WAY too much time watching Anime and bidding on ebay.
advice
I tried once to grow herbs, but nothing happened. Then I heard about this method of putting a small plastic baggy over them to help keep them warmer and keep up the humidity. The problem is, when I tried to wean them off the baggy's, they all died! Could anyone tell me what some good beginers herbs are, and how to take care of them? Please? It would mean a lot tro me, because I am a vegetarian and like organic food, especially herbs for pasta. Thank you!
First off make sure you are buying perinnials. An annual, like Basil, is going to die in one season anyway. I'm not very conversant on a window herb garden, but I know you can buy Chia pet herb kits that are made to help beginners. I have always had a half cask planter for the poarch or a small garden out back. Try starting with 4" seedlings. " is the size of the pot they are in when you buy them not the size of the plant itself. Go to a nursery not Walmart or someplace like that. You'll get better quality stock and they can actually give you growing tips other than the preprinted card that comes stuck in the pot at Wally World. Oregano, Thyme, catnio, Lemon Balm, and all kinds of mint are easy to grow. They just need enough space.
(Rating: 5) Thank you so much! This is great advice, you seem to know a lot about herbs. Thank you!!
