This is on my counter and always changing as herbs over grow or need fresh ones. The original Burpee Oregano which you cant see was planted March 24th. That is being terminated. The Oregano you can see is was planted in June. Thyme was planted 8/17 and Genovese was on 8/20.  |

I have been trimming and trimming that oregano and it is going crazy in a good way. I have trimmed the thyme some as well. Genevese will be pruned soon.  |

I do not use oregano a lot but I do trim it and freeze it. Once this one has run its course I will terminate and not regrow until my frozen stash is done. Basil on the other hand I do use a lot. Thyme I am growing and freezing in a container to be used for Thanksgiving. I grow Thyme once a year to harvest enough for that one day.
I really need to get my Cilantro garden up and running, I am low on that. Plus Mark is wanting my salsa and I use my own for it. To bad I have not grown tomatoes or I would use them too.

one of these days I will have to go back and grow some herbs again. Particularly Thyme and Rosemary, the 2 I use a lot because I cook a lot of chicken .

This garden looks great, Shawn. I, too, need to start cilantro (again), and others. It's great to stagger the herb gardens so you always have basil and cilantro that isn't too young or too old, but I haven't yet gotten the hang of that timing yet.  |

Even untrimmed, your garden is so tidy.

One day I want a wild and crazy Basil growing but I tend to snip before that can happen

I terminated the Oregano. I has been there for some time and the roots were getting moldy. So I harvested what was left. I moved the Thyme to the right side. Added a Burpee Calypso Cilantro (tried Johnny's last time) and a Burpee Rosemary. I will give Rosemary one more try. Three seeds in each Park Pod. More on these when something happens. In the mean time, here it is.. prior to me adding the new pods.  |

Like I said before, my Rosemary (standard AG kit) took FOREVER to sprout, then FOREVER to show any signs of growing and even more FOREVER to really establish itself, but once it did, it gave me a lot of wonderful smelling rosemary.
I'd given up on it many times and was just too lazy to throw it away before it finally got into its own.

Happily surprised that in three days the cilantro is sprouting  |

Yay! Hopefully that means it'll be very hearty and strong.

Well I was still waiting on the Rosemary so I took a flashlight to look in the pod and there IS green in there... Here is hoping it continues to grow. |

Yay so happy for you! Crossing my fingers for you. Almost nothing worse than having it stall before it gets out the gate. That kept happening with my old AG parsley pods.

Did the ones I send you work? OF have you not tried them yet?

I'm not sure yet because they're too young. And mixed I with cilantro, etc. I will update my herb pic soon.

The rosemary is up but the two starter eaves fell off  . There are very tiny leaves starting to show on the top. Hopefully it will take off. The Cilantro however is doing really good. I trimmed the basil the other day so it is filling in nicely again and I need to trim the Thyme again as well.  |

Rosemary is so hard to grow! I have tried the AG pods several times and no joy!
Dawn had a VERY successful harvest from her Frankenstein Garden , but it took almost a half year to get to that point from what I recall from the old forum.But it was an outstanding harvest. I don;t have the patience, but I am going to do a window herb garden along with my AG herb garden and will try some windowsill rosemary(which I expect to fail).
