This week I have spent a lot of time staring at six herb pots on my balcony
When I was planting them I labeled each herb on the side of wooden laundry pegs because I couldn't be bothered to suss out how to make tags
Here's dill and some kind of spice fennel thing? I fished it out of the discount clearance pile of a garden store that went bankrupt last year.
Marjoram and basil are very very tiny still.
Sage and chives have given up. May have to attempt with new seeds.
Usually I've grown herbs *historically* indoors, but one of my old cats believes baby herbs are only good for eating or sitting on, so it's been a long while since I've grown any. The outdoors temperatures fluctuate wildly, and the sun and the glass windows trapping heat make the balcony a hothouse on some days, with cold nights in between, I'm surprised four out of six have made it.
I wanted oregano as well, but I haven't found seeds for that yet : (
Next round of seeding: Herbs just getting started โ chervil, dill, and sorrel labeled with repurposed plastic knives.

Most people plant herbs wrong โ and thatโs why some thrive while others die. โ
The secret isnโt more fertilizer or waterโฆ
Itโs planting the RIGHT herbs together โ
Some herbs share sunlight, soil, and watering needs โ and when paired correctly, they:
๐ฟ Grow faster
๐ฟ Stay healthier
๐ฟ Taste better in cooking
