Chupey, Chupey, Quite Contrary, How does your garden grow?

[chupe666]

It don't. Stupid herbs. That's twice now, jerks. See if i pour my heart out a third time.

 

[minxnim]

what herbs? i can help, i used to be a horticulture teacher!

 

[chupe666]

cilantro, curled parsley, basil, chives, and something

totally legal, honest.

I'm pretty sure that my mom loves, and is more proud of, her garden than me.

 

[mindspell]

Jesus Azal, you are really looking for it..

 

[minxnim]

chupe i will hook you up with ways to make that shit grow dude!

 

[chupe666]

step 1 will likely be to buy more seeds

 

[minxnim]

YES so were you growing them outdoors from seed? or starting indoors or what??!?!

 

[chupe666]

starting indoors. this was some small 'grow your own herbs' project gift box thing so i know it probably wasn't the best. but it was a gift from jodi's mom before she passed away so i am doubly pissed it's not working, you know? i happened to leave them outdoors for some sun one day and it totally downpoured, so they're like dead. the second try, i'm not sure what happened. are they really that fragile or do i just suck?

 

[minxnim]

the seeds were probably old and thus, the plants fragile. my recommendation is, for your first time, buy small already started plants, bring them home, and leave them in their pots for 30 days, then repot them however you want... either in a suitable place outside, in a big container all together, or in larger individual ones.
it is totally cliche but your best bet really is miracle gro soil, and if you want to go all natural, fish emulsion.

i wish i had an herb garden. every time i grow an herb i eat it and it dies. we had a basil plant that lasted two weeks.
