Herb garden update. As mentioned been successful with basils, so far have grown 3 types, cinnamon, lemon and purple basil. Recently the landscape guys who mown the lawn and look after the big plants, by mistake fertlised the herb plants and some seedlings. The fertiliser was too strong for the herbs, maybe meant for bigger plants. So within a few days after that I've lost my thyme and a few stalks of rosemary and some catmint seedlings. The remaining catmint seedlings are growing so slowly. I just hope they grow until they flower so can get some seeds back to resown.
Of the lavender plant only one seedling left in pot. Also growing slowly. Still not sure if it's lavender though. As I had a few seeds left I tried another method via https://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1163711/ Was disappointed after 5 days nothing sprouted from the 5 cups I'd sown the seeds in. But on the 7th day a seedling sprouted in one of the cups. These 5 seeds I'd sown in separate cups indoors under those aquarium fluorescent lights as I was told these lights would be the closest thing to a grow light that we can get here in Malaysia. So, am still hoping that the seeds will sprout from the other 4 cups too.
