Growing Indoor Herbs

[jpshaw]

I'm usually not good at growing herbs but I did start a 10" pot of thyme last spring and it's been great. Fresh thyme has been included in many of my soups and there is still plenty of it. Keeping my fingers crossed for the winter though. BTW its grown on the porch not inside.

My thyme starting dieing from the roots up in the garden a few weeks ago. I hope it comes back next year like normally and didnt get some sort of disease that killed it. It normally doesnt die out til the first frost.

We plantes 3 different varieties of peppers, parsley, cilantro, and basil today!

Does it stay warm longer in your area Cathy? Those things would never grow here this time of the year.

Rosemary bush was just fine til about 2 weeks ago then it started turning brown. I did nothing different other than not being able to set it out on the balcony. I did put it in front of the kitchen widow facing the same as the balcony. Im gonna take it to my fil's where it is cooler and he has a sliding glass door that gets full sun and see if it will snap out of it but I doubt it.

The rosemary died. It was fine and then died with in a week. I tossed it in the trash yesterday.

[scubalaydee]

Oh Janie, I was rooting for this special rosemary tree. Better luck next time!

It did great for about 6 weeks in the house and then died all of the sudden. I was hoping it was gonna make it to.
