BOB goes forth

Karmacat

Morning! I am *so* boring when it comes to tea - English breakfast with no milk in. Couldnt seem to get hold of it in Germany when I went last month to visit my bessie mate, and I was .... on tenterhooks, lets say!

The gardening - ooh, I wish I could join in. My time in the garden is more on the level of destruction at the mo - I spent an hour and a half outside yesterday, but it was all about clearing the path to the front door and chopping up branches that I'd already sawn off - "overgrown" doesn't begin to cover it for my garden. But I *do* have a windowbox made ready with drainage stones, and a few herb pots that need planting, so I could do that.... and I bought a basil plant yesterday for inside the house.

Just a thought, seriously: I always, always overwater basil or whatnot, how do people water indoor things? Do you water on certain days? Sorry for the hijack Bob, but there are knowledgeable people here!

Morning Bob! Hmm favourite tea.. I love Earl Grey... but really the only kind I don't like are herbal ones which are too sweet, things with vanilla in etc.

My garden is doing quite well - I don't have any beans to measure though!

KC - not very helpful but I tend to water by look/ feel after growing herbs for a few years, they certainly don't need it every day - probably every other day if you've got them on a really hot sunny windowsill but otherwise I would say only when the soil feels dry, and just give them a little bit at a time.

Have a good day Bobster x

I grow a lot of indoor herbs and water every day at first(seed stage0 as they look to progressing , i water every other day or if soil looking dried out. Also pinch herbs as they grow, it will make them stronger..hope that helps.

I think some of it is hit and miss. very excited today as i re potted the runners and courgettes, lol i have loads all over the house now, as didnt want to put them outside in this weather.:rotfl:

I love earl grey as well, and i like english breakfast tea, most of the twinings range as well...but i just stick to cheapo tea for indoors, as well as my herbal teas. I have a lemon balm plant which i make teas from as well..or should i call them infusions?
Hope you have a good day as well.
