This might sound unscientific but let me say it anyway. It also helps if you have "green thumbs"! I have tried every trick in the book till I've gone blue in the face, but couldn't bring up even a fritillary (pun intended!) in my garden! When my friend William joined me in planting, as some kind of a "boys' day out" (we had seriously good fun mucking about and talking all nonsense, thanks for asking ;-] ), those plants decided to grow and flower and fruit with a vengeance! I feel good for the OP (@hp50g) who get it going at virtually no effort!
- hp50g 14y agoTry less hard :) - I had a chain of disasters until I stopped trying all the tricks. Plants grew pretty well for years without our intervention. Apart from oregano and lavender which instantly snuff it the moment I'm involved.
- Surio 14y ago>> Try less hard :) "Tried" that too :D I've taken a 2-year sabbatical from all things muddy. Let's see how things go the next time. Fresh eyes and less anxiety!
- lostlogin 14y agoI dont know about oregano but I suspect it may be like lavender - dont let it have wet feet. Water it, sure and its ok getting pretty dry. But planted in clay where it sits in water over winter, and it'll die very fast. That's my experience anyway.
- hp50g 14y agoThanks for the tip - will try that :)
