I have been thinking of having my homegrown herbs but I am living in a condo and I don't have a garden, I don't know how to take care of plants, and I think I do not have the green thumb :(
Fortunately, Bokk is there. Yesterday, we bought some sweet basil, parsley and Italian parsley - few of what I mostly use. We bought some gardening tools too for a start. I didn't know that there is such things as 'soil-less' gardening until yesterday. All thanks to ACE hardware and a knowledgeable saleslady, she introduced us to the 'soil' perfectly mixed for herbs!
Bokk did all the gardening while I watch, hahaha! And hand-over things she need, the least I can do :-) We placed some barbecue sticks around coz I think they are still regaining strength from being uprooted from their used to be small pots :-)
Look how pretty they are!
Will they grow? How long will they last? I really don't know. I'm crossing my fingers :)

This pot, by the way, is placed at the fire exit of our unit.
Do you know some herb gardening tips? I badly need some, please do share!
Cute! As long as there's a good source of light and they don't dry out, herbs are pretty easy to grow in pots. My problems with them come from inadequate light from trying to grow indoors--which will make any plant leggy (tall and sparse foliage instead of short and bushy--you can help encourage them to remain short and bushy by pinching off the tops regularly). Good luck!
ReplyDeleteoh wow! thanks, i think they have adequate light, but as of this writting, they are wilting already. i spray water every morning and keep soil damp..i just don't know what happened :(
