  2. They are so lovely and useful. I have many of them. How did you care for your thyme? The ones I had were very tiny and eventually disappeared.

    Which herb do you use the most? For me, it is the mint.

  12. Hi everyone,
    It is really frustating! I have just replied to each and every one of you to your questions and when I clicked post comment, there was a blogger error and everything disappears!

    Sorry about that!
    So to summarize, I did not take any special care in taking care of the herb plants. I left the pots where they can enjoy the full morning sun and fertilize them every 5 to 6 weeks. Since I use some of them in my cooking pot, I guess by cutting the leaves will encourage new growth. And the herbs that I use the most are definitely the parsley. I bought the basil plants, stevia, rosemary, thymes, curry leaves as young small plants from the nurseries. The parsley are from seeds, the dill and sawtooth coriander are self seeded from the mother plant and the oregano are from propagation from my sister's plant. That's about it! I may do an individual post for each of the herbs later when I can! Am planning to include a few more herb plants in my potted garden. So many plants and so little space. Sigh....! :) Have a good gardening week everyone, the sun in shining now!
