I got a ride with a friend today and she needed to go to home depot. So of course I had to look at the herbs they had for sale. How could I refuse. And I ended up with another rosemary plant. The last one died. A peppermint and a pineapple mint and one Italian oregano. I hope they all do well.

I've had quite a bit of trouble with my bottom tier soil but I'm thinking that if anything can survive down there it is the mints. Lets hope I'm right on that one.

Sorry I didn't see this post sooner Tammy. How are all your herbs doing? Did you find a rubber chicken?

I did put the rosemary up top this time thinking that the other one might have gotten to much water but this one isn't even doing as well as the last one so no more rosemary for me this year at least. It just doesn't like me.

The rest is doing fine. I would like to find a way to keep more moisture around the mints but so far nothing has come to mind. I do have a polymer crystal in the soil but it doesn't seem to work really well. Either that or it's just that I can't see it.

Down here in the summer we are only experiencing about 3 rains a summer so excess water really isn't a concern once we get past April.

Of course this year it was the late hail that caused real concern.

Thankyou for all the information Weezie I really appreciate it.
