The days are cooler, the trade winds are back - and my new seeds are sprouting. My last round (two bounties and a harvest) was an absolute failure; most pods didn't grow, and the few that sprouted were soon consumed by green mold. Even the basil struggled and died young.
Only one single plant out of 15 pods, a red epazote, made it to maturity.
I'm going to blame it on the tropical heat. I delayed a couple weeks in setting up a new garden; it just didn't seem worthwhile.
I'm glad to report that things are going so much better this time! After one week I have: summer savory, winter savory, marjoram, pipicha, Greek oregano, Persian basil, dill, and zaatar all sprouting. I'm still waiting on chives, chervil, and Italian parsley.
