Gardening is fun! And also hard work. When I fully retire, this is what I'm gonna do tho!
I'm more interested in herb gardening and I've had some herb plants (cilantro, basil, mint, etc). I love cooking with these! But yeah sadly they all died too.
I also tried growing lettuce in my little backyard in the past but was unsuccessful. It's hard for me to keep anything alive, well, except my cat. He's a survivor lol!
Lol I wonder how many lives of his 9 are left? 😉 kidding.
Herbs are a little tricky to keep alive depending on the herb of course. I don't have any experience with mint or cilantro but we are doing pretty well with parsley and basil right now! We couldn’t keep the dill alive from the first go-round but this next one seems to be doing well. These plants and herbs require different levels of sunlight and water. The dill is definitely a partial sun plant, the first time it got full sun and it died quickly lol. I’ve got it in partial shade right now and it’s doing great!
Besides the food and nutrients for the plants, the most important thing is keeping them watered. You should start by planting the seeds in some pots and getting them going then moving them to bigger and bigger pots or from pot to soil outside. I would love to be able to put them in the ground but we don’t have land for that so it will have to wait. Besides, I think I’ll have to contend with the local bunnies over that! Chicken wire is your friend to keep those critters away lol
The most important thing is that he is still alive.
I've had some success with Basil. I had a hard time keeping Dill and Cilantro alive so yeah maybe I didn't give them proper sun or too much sun.
Aww bunnies! 😊
