Gardening for Herbs

[hottiedoggie]

Hi guys, recently I have been reading up on herb growing and was curious if anyone here is doing it.

Currently interested in starting my own herb garden however I do not know where to start.

You can start off with 'easily' herb like mint first. Then add other plants like basil, chilli, tomatoes etc. You can go to the local wet market to buy stalks of mint then put them in a glass of water to root them. Good luck!

1. 3 types of mint
2. Rosemary
3. Thyme
4. French Beans
5. Tomatoes (2 varieties)
6. Basil (Italian and Thai)
7. Sweet potato
8. Chilli
9. Bell Peppers (4 color types)

Seems like a lot, but I have a fair bit of land space. I do provide seed exchange as well, do PM me.

how do you grow thyme and rosemary from seeds?

 

[constant_gardener]

Rosemary can be cultivated with plant clippings.

 

[constant_gardener]

Same goes for thyme but there are seeds available to grow thyme.

i got no green fingers in trying thyme cuttings... can you share how you do it?

 

[constant_gardener]

Just cut and put in water till roots appear, takes about a week. Then transfer it to soil.

 

[constant_gardener]

No, forum but there are gardening Facebook groups.

mint cuttings fail to survive in soil

Suppose to be a very easy plant but failed miserably in propagating from stem cutting. This will be my 4th attempt at growing the mint plant. I leave the stem cuttings in a glass of water till tiny roots start appearing. Next will transfer them to a potted soil. They look good the first 2 days but after that the leaves start drooping and stem rots away. For a change i will try growing them indoor to see if it will help. And certainly open for any suggestion from green fingered members.
