Herb Garden: Survival of the fittest

This week has shown some significant changes in my herb garden. All the plants are seriously heliotropic, bending and growing towards the sun. The basil and parsley are shooting up and putting out leaves that actual resemble a mini version of the full blown plant. However the parsley and dill pots seem to have erupted in chaos. Some plants are climbing atop others. The climbers are thriving but the others seem to be dying off. I am hoping this is a small version of natural selection and the best plant will survive.

Herb Garden: Return of the Parsley

My herb garden is in full swing and the biggest shock so far has been the parsley. One week after planting all the other plants were sprouting but the parsley was dormant and had a layer of white fuzzy mold. Not one to give up, I continued to water it and placed it in the sun. Today I am proud to say the parsley has shot up and overtaken some of the other plants. Meanwhile the basil, an early grower, has slowed down and seems to be putting more energy into thickening it's stems rather than growing taller.
