Basil and Thyme Progress

  

 

As you might recall, Jennifer and I planted some cinnamon basil and thyme about two weeks ago. Now they're up and growing, so we hope they'll make some good progress over the next few weeks.

You can see in the picture above that Jennifer's basil is doing very well (better than mine, actually). She has around seven basil plants up, and they all look healthy and sturdy.

Unfortunately, her thyme hasn't been as successful, but she still has one or two plants up. The rest wilted and died.

My thyme seems to be doing a little bit better, but I have had some of the seedlings wilt, fall over, and die. I'm not sure why. Maybe they're not getting enough light or water.  You can see that I have around five plants in the picture below.

I've noticed that they seem to be forming new leaves already too, so once they've grown a bit more, I'll be able to re-pot them.

I only have two basil plants up, but I think I only planted five or so in the pot too. Maybe they're just taking a bit longer to germinate, so with any luck, Jennifer and I will have a few basil and thyme plants to enjoy later on.
