Herb

No, We're not growing marijuana.  We are growing peppermint, rosemary, oregano, sweet basil, and cilantro in pots.  Well, the first three are in one big pot right now.

Pot of herbs

Last year this huge planter had lemon basil, sweet basil, peppermint, oregano, and rosemary.  The mint came from a "Master Gardener" plant sale organized by the county.  The rest of the herbs came from Angel's friend Nikita.  Angel and Jacob moved it into the greenhouse in early winter, but I did not heat the greenhouse until February, so the basils died, and the mint died back.  The oregano and rosemary survived the cold just fine.  However, since things have warmed up, the mint has perked up.  It has totally taken over the planter.  Two weeks ago I hit it with a MiracleGro solution, and have been watering every other day.  Each day you can literally see the mint growth.  I'm probably going to have to transplant the rosemary and oregano into other pots so they can survive the mint explosion.

I started sweet basil in pots a while back.  They germinated, but really haven't done much so far.  I kinda think it's just not warm enough yet for them.  The seed that was a year old, and purchased for a dollar at Target.  Much of it didn't germinate.

Sweet basil...ain't doing much

I started some cilantro, but that was recent.  No germination yet.  I also saved some basil and cilantro seeds to direct sow into the garden when it gets warm enough.
