Herb gardeners Please Help me?

I have been growing some herbs that started as seeds last February. They are all straggly. I pinched back the basil already because I found instructions here on how to do this. I also have:

Thyme (in ground)
The rest are potted.
Dill
Cilantro
Italian Parsley
Chives (not doing well, only two stalks)
Marjoram
Basil

The birds ate my Rosemary. Bad birds.

These are mostly all outside in pots. I have some in pots still inside. Of course, I’ve never done this before.

Thanks for your help.

PS I’m in New York City, if that matters.
Do I need to pinch some of the others back? Which ones?

How do I plant these herb seeds for indoor growing?

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 19:15:26 +0000

I’ve never grown anything before now, but I’m starting an indoor herb garden. I’ve found a few sites for the basics.. I have an egg carton filled with potting soil and some holes punched through the bottom in a pan with a little bit of water. I have it sitting on top of my stereo for now to keep in warm (soil was outside and rather cold, now it’s slightly warm to the touch).

Problem is, I don’t know how many seeds to put in each section or how deep to push them in! All the sites say to follow the direction on the packet, but the envelopes are blank. I have:

Sweet Basil (common)
Chives (common)
Oregano (common)
Coriander/Cilantro
Dill "Bouquet"
Italian Parsley

The seeds vary so much in size.. I don’t know if I should just put one per section or more in case a few don’t take.

Betty Purchases Herbs and Plants an Herb Garden–NO RECIPE–

admin — Sat, 08 May 2010 04:48:12 +0000

In this video, Betty purchases herbs for planting outside, and then plants them in her herb garden. A few of our herbs that were planted last year survived the winter, so Rick and I had chives, tarragon, thyme, sage, and a few ornamental plants to start with. We went to Lowe’s in Richmond and purchased curly parsley, flat parsley, oregano, basil, mint, rosemary, dill, cilantro, onion chives, a couple of tomato plants, a green bell pepper plant, a red bell pepper plant, and 2 hot pepper plants. We planted the herbs and vegetables on April 21 (two weeks ago), and they have been growing nicely since then. We did lose the two hot pepper plants very quickly to rabbits, so we may replace those, but they will have to be protected from the rabbits! We reorganized the ornamental plants a bit, moving a hosta plant to an empty spot in front of our azaleas in our landscaping around the house. I will be uploading a recipe using some of the herbs from our herb garden soon! I hope this video is helpful to you, if you are planning an herb garden. It is a lot of fun! –Betty
