Glad you like the blog. Herbs aren't ...Hi Jess<br /><br />Glad you like the blog. Herbs aren't doing a lot of growing now, so it is a good idea to wait until the end of winter for the outdoors herbs, although in Brisbane that would be some time in August, I guess. The general principle with feeding plants is to keep on checking them, and if they show a glimmer of new growth, fertilise then. You generally can't force a plant to grow by fertilising them.<br /><br />Some herbs, such as parsley, basil, mint and coriander, like to be fed monthly (I use Nitrosol), but others such as sage, rosemary, thyme and oregano need not much food at all - just some slow release pellets (I use Osmocote) once a year seems to keep them happy.<br /><br />The main thing that herbs (apart from mint) need is sunshine,and that's often the problem indoors – not enough sunshine. Good indoor herbs are mint and chervil, both of which actually do best in semi-shade outside.<br /><br />Good luck!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-10470687739222395302009-07-12T14:54:37.189+10:002009-07-12T14:54:37.189+10:00Just wanted to say hi and that I enjoy reading you...Just wanted to say hi and that I enjoy reading your blog about gardening in Australia (the only one that I subscribe to currently!).<br /><br />I just wondered if you have some advice for me - I live in Brisbane and have mainly a potted garden = some outdoors, mostly indoors. For the outdoor herbs etc do you think I should start fertilising now, or wait until the end of Winter? <br />Thanks very much!Jesshttp://www.lennonforever.netnoreply@blogger.com
