It is official. I am gardener of the year! Below are some of the glorious herbs I have been growing... look at how tall and lush they are. I can't wait to eat them... mmm yum yum. I think I shall enter Chelsea flower show next year...
So yes I failed in my attempts to grow herbs. I planted 4 lots of seeds, and the only one that sprouted was the basil, and that died shortly after sprouting... I am not sure what to blame. Most probable cause of death would appear to be the poor quality of the 'compost' I used. It wasn't really compost... more like soil + sticks + leaves + stones... then there could be the heat... and my lack of attention/ plant knowledge... possibly a combination of all 3... oh well! I think I will just have to do without the herbs!!!
