I have discovered, aside from the fact that I can obviously kill any plant, that putting those that need a lot of water in the same planter as those that don't...yeah, it doesn't work out so well. The basil and mint have really struggled between being kept indoors during the worst of our wind storms (they really don't love the air conditioning and I'm not willing to compromise my comfort that much) and some seriously withering heat, even though the "heat wave" has been over for a while. I have to keep a close eye on them to make sure they're not wilting, but a little bit of wilt seems inevitable these days. And we're not even to August yet. Ugh. Most of the time the rain takes care of these two (below), I just have to make sure I don't get lazy and completely forget to water them on dry days. [read more...]
