basil and cilantro
So, I transplanted the basil and cilantro plants in larger planters. Now
half of them are dead. I did water them but the weather had been strange here. Hot and sunny one day, rainy the next, so it is possible the soil was very dry for at least a day, or overwatered. How wet do these plants need to be? I read the little paper I got with them, and it just said to keep the soil moist. Also, I'm wondering if the round-up I used on some weeds nearby had a negative effect on the plants. I did not spray the round-up on the plants or on an area touching the planters (but it was one or two feet away) and there was no wind to speak of, which is why I used it at that time (I wouldn't have if it had been windy, since I would have been afraid of the wind carrying the round-up to my new babies). How much does that round-up stuff travel? Even if there were no wind, could it have hit my plants some other way? Really, I'm not a troll. I'm just a true neophyte at any kind of gardening, plus it seems I may not have much common sense about it. I'm always willing to learn! Well, at least my tomatoes are still alive! rona -- "Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and they will **** upon your computer." --Bruce Graham |
