I can already start to smell the wonder scent of that garden will have!

[Shawn]

I switched the Basils around.

[Shawn]

I may throw a pod of chives in the empty hole.

EDITED to add:

I just planted some Burpee Common Chives.  I placed three seeds in.

For our Chive growers, will I need to thin these?  MaryL, @cornne, anyone?

[Shawn]

I removed the Rosemary and harvested all the leaves.  While it was growing very well, I like the way the Burpee grows better.  So I rearranged pods again and planted a Burpee Rosemary.

[Shawn]

This was before I planted the rosemary.

[Shawn]

I restarted my Oregano.  I kinda killed it.  I was moving the label and it ripped them out.  Replanted this morning using Park Seeds

Any particular reason you're using Park Seeds?

I like their seeds.  Also depending on what I am growing I find that I like certain vendors better then others.

I did a test on Cilantro seeds once (in this thread) and Burpee has always worked for me.  Not to say that Johnnys and Parks did not but burpee was always the best.

[Shawn]

Basils are going nuts as is the Thyme.  I restarted the Chives as they mildewed.  Nothing yet in the Rosemary but I do not expect anything yet.

[Shawn]

Finally have life in the new Chives AND Rosemary I just replanted.  Now lets hope they live and keep growing.

Yes the Napoletano Basil gets HUGE leaves!

Thanks on the nails.  They are gel and I do them myself. 

[Shawn]

Terminated the Napoletano Basil.  gnats come in I guess from having the windows open and they were in the pod itself and flying.  I checked the other plants and they seem ok HOWEVER, I might terminate those as well and start fresh.

That's why I bought some of those yellow sticky pads.

Sorry to hear this dilemma.

No big deal, I love starting new gardens however only the Napoletano was affected and I caught it fast.  No other gnats to be seen since I killed the few I found.  I will replant.
