    Best tip I can give is to get plants suitable to your environment rather than changing the environment to suit the plant. Second best tip is get a plant that’s a drama queen, then only water or do something to it when it looks like it’s about to die.

      First plant I grew was rosemary. Propagated it quite a long way at this point although I really should cut it back at some point now. Want to move it back in the bed its growing in really but that’s a couple of years to get to the size it is.

      Probably best to cut it down and plant a new one. When I originally planted them I did 2 rows but I think 1 row down the middle would have been better, the back row died off or barely grew and the front row is massive and flopping over the path but has an empty gap behind it.

        I am a basil killer … I don’t know what I’m doing but I kill those guys.

        I just planted it in my backyard after a while and they grew so well. Putting them in a pot in my house is the beginning of the end 😭
