grow herbs in my kitchen

I came across some little organic herbs at Wholefoods. I bought parsely and rosemary. I didn’t buy cilantro because I hate cilantro. I want some basil but they didn’t have any. They are currently in the window by my sink. I need to pot them in some real pots still.

between overheating and underheating and too much dark and not enough care the last few seedlings are looking SICK! I don’t think they’ll ever crop.

Hey ho… it was cheap entertainment while it lasted!

the basil and parsley are coming along albeit very slowly, the remaining sageling is doing OK, bless it – the replanted coriander is a rerun of last time :-(

we struggle on

Thanks to my brother in law, I have 2 types of basil and oregano in pretty black pots in the kitchen. I also have a lime tree in the garden which is a bit more exciting as it is a concrete step towards reclaiming the garden and enjoying it – once the spider phobia is all gone!!

I’d like to have more herbs, I think – and to keep these ones alive and use them.

the majoram’s dead, the rosemary’s dead, the coriander’s struggling but has just been topped up
BUT!
We have one nice little sageling and the basil’s still going strong… so lets not give up hope just yet, even though gardeners’ question time on the radio last week said that this was something that wasn’t worth trying!

...we’re seeing some fall off in our potential herb yield. Oh well… keep watering, bung in some more seeds! Make out its intended staggering.

happy dance that’s a full house! yay – ok now we have to wait for things to get beyond the seed leaf stage!

from… coriander, majoram, basil, rosemary & sage – i think the parsley is on the way – but its still a bit unclear. Can’t wait to see how they get on! Anyone know how long this is going to take? I’m being terribly impatient at the mo

no matter how many times I see seeds germinate, I’m still delighted by it. So far we have errr… I think its margoram and coriander germinating. The rosemary’s looking a wee bit furry, not sure whether I overwatered – anyhow in the next few days we’ll find out won’t we?

lets see what happens!
