Be careful about over watering and over fertilizing. Many herbs prefer slightly harsher conditions. In the 6+ years I've had my herb garden I have never admended the soil and very rarely water, unless things are seriously dry. In spite, or because of that, I have been rewarded, year after year, with plentiful growth and harvests. In fact I have a tarragon and a sage plant that I dont' think I could kill now if I tried. I general, though I agree it is probably just shock. Every year I plant basil and every year I get concerned its not going to make it and it always does. |
