Successes
Left to Right
1. Left Front - Triple Curl Parsley – this is my replacement plant. I transplanted it to 6 inch pot within a few days of bringing it home from the nursery.
2. Left Rear – English Thyme – this is the replacement for the one that I killed by overwatering and over fertilizing. It is in a 50/50 cactus / soil mix. This mix drains well and avoids a lot of watering problems. But I still wait until the plant is asking for water by its little heads drooping over before I water it.
3. Right Rear – Italian Flat Leaf Parsley – this plant was transplanted within a few days after arriving home from the nursery. It is in an 8/3/2 mix. It was transplanted from a 2 inch pot to a 5 inch pot and took about 4 weeks to really adjust and take off but is doing well now. I think it is close to a move to the next size up pot.
4. Right front – Greek Windowsill Basil – this herb was in a 2 inch pot when I got it. I left it that way for about three weeks before moving it to a 4 inch pot. It has been in the 4 inch pot for 5 weeks and is now ready to go up to a 6 inch pot. I have to watch this one to avoid it going dry.
