I have a black thumb but it's always been a small dream of mine to have an herb and vegetable garden. I wanted to wait until I owned a home with a yard, but someone gifted me some herbs in pots and I'm scrambling to keep them alive. No plant dreams of coming home to me, but here we are.
I got spanish lavender, lemon thyme, italian oregano, and spearmint. I put the lavender and oregano together in a large pot, and the thyme and mint have their own pots alone.
I'm in an apartment with a south-facing balcony. I transplanted the herbs to some well-draining pots made of wood pulp with this potting soil. I'm trying my best to leave them alone so I don't smother them or give them root rot, but the thyme is getting leggy because we're having a bout of thunderstorms, haven't had any good sun or warmth for about a week, and the forecast says no sun until Friday.
A-am I doing okay? Am I gonna make it?
