I wonder if anyone can help me, i live in a ground floor flat and am
very unfortunate not to have a garden.

I love cooking and gardening so i have been attempting to grow herbs
indoors.

I buy all my herbs already grown and put them by my windows within my
kitchin and living room.

My Basil and Mint have grown beautifully and doubled in size however my
rosemerry and greek basil although growing well for several months have
now seemed to have died on me, also my Tyme and Corriander never last
longer then a month im confused as to what im doing wrong.

I water all of them almost every day...the basil in particular i only
water when it looks like it needs watering as im told these do not need
to be watered eveyday.


Let the herb's soil dry out between waterings. Don't water every day.

Also, consider a grow-light. :-)

Hope this helps?
