- 2 tomato plants (actually on our tiny patio AKA fire escape off the kitchen)
- basil
- dill
- coriander
- cayenne pepper
- mint
- oregano
- rosemary (a gift from my Mom about a month ago)
- lavender
Everything looked just great the first day. In fact, the plants looked so good that we moved a few into the living room window sill. It was so pleasant opening the front door and seeing the little pots in the window, but when we returned from work yesterday we were met with a sad little discovery. Everything was droopy. Very droopy. So....back to the sunroom they went! Charlie and I are hoping that it was the air conditioned air that made the plants droop (and not some other failure on our part).
We've already used a few basil leaves in our cooking, and it was so great snipping them off the plant! If all goes well we will have fresh herbs galore this summer and our cooking will be the better for it!
Dill is my absolute favorite herb. I can never get enough of it's wonderful smell and flavor.
ReplyDeleteThe newly potted herbs might droop a bit more regularly while they ground their 'feet' and get used to the new pots. They should strengthen up soon.
Good to hear! They already look a little happier in their pots. :)
ReplyDeleteIf plants are drooping they usually have been over or under watered. Good luck with the garden.
